equations.

the laws of dependence which bind the variable quantities
together are themselves subject to change.

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.

exponents.

of real or imaginary quantities by the use of the
imaginary symbols and quantities of algebra.

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. CentraCentrum Cen"trum, n.; pl. E. Centrums, L. Centra. [L.,
