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.)

another or to a magnet or armature common to both,

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.

indefinitely small quantities called differentials. The
problems are primarily of this form: to find how the

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.

expression itself. Differential galvanometerGalvanometer Gal`va*nom"e*ter, n. [Galvanic + -meter: cf. F.
