Definition of Differential

Differential Relating to or indicating a difference; creating a difference; discriminating; special; as, differential characteristics; differential duties; a differential rate. Of or pertaining to a differential, or to differentials. Relating to differences of motion or leverage; producing effects by such differences; said of mechanism. An increment, usually an indefinitely small one, which is given to a variable quantity. A small difference in rates which competing railroad lines, in establishing a common tariff, allow one of their number to make, in order to get a fair share of the business. The lower rate is called a differential rate. Differentials are also sometimes granted to cities. One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other. A form of conductor used for dividing and distributing the current to a series of electric lamps so as to maintain equal action in all.

And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives. David Brin As I was working I noticed that the way I designed the differential gearing actually created a spare drive that sat directly below the emperor's feet, or where they would be if he were to sit in the chariot. Kit Williams If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least conceded so much to our imperfect intellect that in order to predict little parts of it, we need not solve innumerable differential equations, but can use dice with fair success. Max Born Newton, of course, was the inventor of differential calculus so his place in the tale is quite special. Kit Williams
