So far, I don't see evidence that 微分 means "an infinitesimal".

1) Dictionaries don't seem to have "an infinitesimal":
LA ~ 數學上指以極限求函數導函數的方法。也作「微分法」。
M ~ 若函數中之變數以一定增量增加,則稱為此變數之微分。又若此函數的新變化依原變化減小,再若此差依增量之遞昇冪展開之,則對於此增量之一次項,稱為此函數之微分。
HaDeDict ~ Differenzierung (GT ~ differentiation)
Z ~ [same as M's definition]
K ~ {math} differential

2) OK, I'm getting tired and I can't finish tonight. I'm going to just put this in as is.
I looked up "infinitesimal" in Wp and YYL and didn't see any instance of 微分.

I got the idea that 微分 might be a verb from J examples like
They turn out to be differentiable at 0.
他们在0点也成为可微分的。
Diff:
- 微分 微分 [wei1 fen1] /an infinitesimal/differentiation/differential calculus/
# + 微分 微分 [wei1 fen1] /(math.) to differentiate/differentiation/differential (equation, calculus etc)/
+ 微分 微分 [wei1 fen1] /(math.) differential (of a function)/differential (equation etc)/to differentiate/differentiation/
