  1. What exactly is a differential? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jul 13, 2015 · The right question is not "What is a differential?" but "How do differentials behave?". Let me explain this by way of an analogy. Suppose I teach you all the rules for adding and multiplying …

  2. calculus - What is the practical difference between a differential and ...

    See this answer in Quora: What is the difference between derivative and differential?. In simple words, the rate of change of function is called as a derivative and differential is the actual change of …

  3. What is a differential form? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jul 21, 2018 · 69 can someone please informally (but intuitively) explain what "differential form" mean? I know that there is (of course) some formalism behind it - definition and possible operations with …

  4. What actually is a differential? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 3, 2019 · I am a bit confused about differentials, and this is probably partly due to what I find to be a rather confusing teaching approach. (I know there are a bunch of similar questions around, but none o...

  5. real analysis - Rigorous definition of "differential" - Mathematics ...

    Nov 3, 2016 · What bothers me is this definition is completely circular. I mean we are defining differential by differential itself. Can we define differential more precisely and rigorously? P.S. Is it possible to …

  6. Newest 'differential-geometry' Questions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Differential geometry is the application of differential calculus in the setting of smooth manifolds (curves, surfaces and higher dimensional examples). Modern differential geometry focuses on "geometric …
