Thanks for using this online dictionary, we have been helping millions of people improve their use of the english language with its free online services. English definition of differential is as below...

Element :: Element (n.) An infinitesimal part of anything of the same nature as the entire magnitude considered; as, in a solid an element may be the infinitesimal portion between any two planes that are separated an indefinitely small distance. In the calculus, element is sometimes used as synonymous with differential..

Differential :: Differential (n.) 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.

Discriminant :: Discriminant (n.) The eliminant of the n partial differentials of any homogenous function of n variables. See Eliminant.

Potential :: Potential (n.) In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; -- also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the cente

Thermoscope :: Thermoscope (n.) An instrument for indicating changes of temperature without indicating the degree of heat by which it is affected; especially, an instrument contrived by Count Rumford which, as modified by Professor Leslie, was afterward called the differential thermometer..

Differentially :: Differentially (adv.) In the way of differentiation.

Differentiate :: Differentiate (v. t.) To obtain the differential, or differential coefficient, of; as, to differentiate an algebraic expression, or an equation..

Fluxion :: Fluxion (n.) The infinitely small increase or decrease of a variable or flowing quantity in a certain infinitely small and constant period of time; the rate of variation of a fluent; an incerement; a differential.

Differential :: Differential (n.) An increment, usually an indefinitely small one, which is given to a variable quantity..

Differential :: Differential (a.) Relating to differences of motion or leverage; producing effects by such differences; said of mechanism.

Integration :: Integration (n.) The operation of finding the primitive function which has a given function for its differential coefficient. See Integral.

Differential :: Differential (n.) 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..

Mark :: Mark (n.) A characteristic or essential attribute; a differential.

Differentiate :: Differentiate (v. t.) To distinguish or mark by a specific difference; to effect a difference in, as regards classification; to develop differential characteristics in; to specialize; to desynonymize..

Obeisant :: Obeisant (a.) Ready to obey; reverent; differential; also, servilely submissive..

Pyroscope :: Pyroscope (n.) An instrument for measuring the intensity of heat radiating from a fire, or the cooling influence of bodies. It is a differential thermometer, having one bulb coated with gold or silver leaf..

Differential :: Differential (a.) Of or pertaining to a differential, or to differentials..

Integral :: Integral (n.) An expression which, being differentiated, will produce a given differential. See differential Differential, and Integration. Cf. Fluent..

Differential :: Differential (n.) 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..

Aethrioscope :: Aethrioscope (n.) An instrument consisting in part of a differential thermometer. It is used for measuring changes of temperature produced by different conditions of the sky, as when clear or clouded..
