Editing Differential (section)

==Mathematics==
* [[Differential (mathematics)]] comprises multiple related meanings of the word, both in calculus and differential geometry, such as an infinitesimal change in the value of a function
* [[Differential algebra]]
* [[Differential calculus]]
** [[Differential of a function]], represents a change in the linearization of a function
*** [[Total differential]] is its generalization for functions of multiple variables
** [[Differential (infinitesimal)]] (e.g. ''dx'', ''dy'', ''dt'' etc.) are interpreted as infinitesimals
** [[Differential topology]]
* [[Pushforward (differential)| Differential (pushforward)]] The total derivative of a map between manifolds.
* [[Differential exponent]], an exponent in the factorisation of the [[different ideal]]
* [[Differential geometry]], exterior differential, or [[exterior derivative]], is a generalization to [[differential form]]s of the notion of differential of a function on a differentiable manifold
* [[Cochain complex|Differential (coboundary)]], in homological algebra and algebraic topology, one of the maps of a cochain complex
* [[Differential cryptanalysis]], a pair consisting of the difference, usually computed by XOR, between two plaintexts, and the difference of the corresponding ciphertexts
