Differential of a function: History, Applications & Art

In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function y = f ( x ) {\displaystyle y=f(x)} with respect to changes in the independent variable. The differential d y {\displaystyle dy} is defined by d y = f ′ ( x ) d x , {\displaystyle dy=f'(x)\,dx,} where f ′ ( x ) {\displaystyle f'(x)} is the derivative of f with respect…
