| >I've seen this pop up in the derivation of the basic path integral. Where else does it pop up? Why, if $x_n$ doesn't depend on $N$, does this turn to an $\exp(\int something)$? I think they join some limits to a single one. I think that relates to what Ron said about quantization procedures. | >I've seen this pop up in the derivation of the basic path integral.
