The term "infinitesimal transformation" is commonly used in the context of differential geometry and mathematical physics, particularly in relation to symmetry operations and the study of continuous groups of transformations (Lie groups). An infinitesimal transformation is a transformation that changes a quantity by an infinitely small amount. Mathematically, it can be thought of as the limit of a transformation as the parameter defining that transformation approaches zero.
