1. (Math.) An increment, usually an indefinitely small one,
which is given to a variable quantity.
Note: According to the more modern writers upon the
differential and integral calculus, if two or more
quantities are dependent on each other, and subject to
increments of value, their differentials need not be
small, but are any quantities whose ratios to each
other are the limits to which the ratios of the
increments approximate, as these increments are reduced
nearer and nearer to zero.
2. 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.
3. (Elec.)
(a) 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.
(b) 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. --Knight.
Partial differential (Math.), the differential of a
function of two or more variables, when only one of the
variables receives an increment.
Total differential (Math.), the differential of a function
of two or more variables, when each of the variables
receives an increment. The total differential of the
function is the sum of all the partial differentials. Differential calculusCalculus Cal"cu*lus, n.; pl. Calculi. [L, calculus. See
Calculate, and Calcule.]

by the use of symbols; any branch of mathematics that may
involve calculation.

defining a point as the center of gravity of certain other
points to which co["e]fficients or weights are ascribed.

treats of the forms of functions that shall satisfy given
conditions.

that treats of all operations that satisfy given
conditions.

computation of the probabilities of events, or the
application of numbers to chance.
Calculus of variations, a branch of mathematics in which
the laws of dependence which bind the variable quantities
together are themselves subject to change.
Differential calculus, a method of investigating
mathematical questions by using the ratio of certain
indefinitely small quantities called differentials. The
problems are primarily of this form: to find how the
change in some variable quantity alters at each instant
the value of a quantity dependent upon it.
Exponential calculus, that part of algebra which treats of
exponents.
Imaginary calculus, a method of investigating the relations
of real or imaginary quantities by the use of the
imaginary symbols and quantities of algebra.
Integral calculus, a method which in the reverse of the
differential, the primary object of which is to learn from
the known ratio of the indefinitely small changes of two
or more magnitudes, the relation of the magnitudes
themselves, or, in other words, from having the
differential of an algebraic expression to find the
expression itself. Differential galvanometerGalvanometer Gal`va*nom"e*ter, n. [Galvanic + -meter: cf. F.

InferenceInference In"fer*ence, n. [From Infer.]
1. The act or process of inferring by deduction or induction.

it is yet unjust and mistaken in the method of
inference. --Glanvill.
2. That which inferred; a truth or proposition drawn from
another which is admitted or supposed to be true; a
conclusion; a deduction. --Milton.
These inferences, or conclusions, are the effects of
reasoning, and the three propositions, taken all
together, are called syllogism, or argument. --I.
Watts.
Syn: Conclusion; deduction; consequence.
Usage: Inference, Conclusion. An inference is literally
that which is brought in; and hence, a deduction or
induction from premises, -- something which follows as
certainly or probably true. A conclusion is stronger
than an inference; it shuts us up to the result, and
terminates inquiry. We infer what is particular or
probable; we conclude what is certain. In a chain of
reasoning we have many inferences, which lead to the
ultimate conclusion. ``An inference is a proposition
which is perceived to be true, because of its
connection with some known fact.' ``When something is
simply affirmed to be true, it is called a
proposition; after it has been found to be true by
several reasons or arguments, it is called a
conclusion.' --I. Taylor.
