Cartesian difference categories are a recent generalisation of Cartesian differential categories which introduce a notion of infinitesimal arrows satisfying an analogue of the Kock-Lawvere axiom, with the axioms of a Cartesian differential category being satisfied only up to an infinitesimal perturbation. In this work, we construct a simply-typed calculus in the spirit of the differential lambda-calculus equipped with syntactic infinitesimals and show how its models correspond to difference lambda-categories, a family of Cartesian difference categories equipped with suitably well-behaved exponentials.
