11Differential of a function — For other uses of differential in mathematics, see differential (mathematics). In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function y = ƒ(x) with respect to changes in the independent variable. The… …
12differential geometry — Math. the branch of mathematics that deals with the application of the principles of differential and integral calculus to the study of curves and surfaces. * * * Field of mathematics in which methods of calculus are applied to the local geometry …
13Differential geometry — A triangle immersed in a saddle shape plane (a hyperbolic paraboloid), as well as two diverging ultraparallel lines. Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the techniques of differential and integral calculus, as well as… …
14Differential geometry of curves — This article considers only curves in Euclidean space. Most of the notions presented here have analogues for curves in Riemannian and pseudo Riemannian manifolds. For a discussion of curves in an arbitrary topological space, see the main article… …
