Differential association
The derivative refers to the rate at which a function changes with respect to another measure. The differential refers to the actual change in a function across a parameter. The differential of a function is equal to its derivative multiplied by the differential of the independent variable . The derivative of a function is the the LIMIT of the ratio of the increment of a function to the increment of the independent variable as the latter tends to zero.
A differential equation is a measure of change. If differencing with respect to time, it is the rate of change. Location, when differentiated, gives velocity. Velocity, when differentiated, gives acceleration. There are significant applications across all aspects of science.
A coulomb is a measure of electric charge. An ampere is a measure of electric current - how much charge passes per second. 1 ampere = 1 coulomb / second.
