1. differential

   A differential is a mathematical tool used in calculus that represents a small change in a variable. In an equation, it measures the rate at which one quantity changes relative to another. It is often represented by the symbol 'dx' or 'dy'. In a broader sense, in fields such as engineering or physics, "differential" can refer to the process used in differential equations which describe the relationship between variables and their rates of change.

1. Differential

   A differential is a device, usually, but not necessarily, employing gears, which is connected to the outside world by three shafts, chains, or similar, through which it transmits torque and rotation. The gears or other components make the three shafts rotate in such a way that, where, and are the angular velocities of the three shafts, and and are constants. Often, but not always, and are equal, so is proportional to the sum of and . Except in some special-purpose differentials, there are no other limitations on the rotational speeds of the shafts, apart from the usual mechanical/engineering limits. Any of the shafts can be used to input rotation, and the other to output it. See animation of a simple differential in which and are equal. The shaft rotating at speed is at the bottom-right of the image. In automobiles and other wheeled vehicles, a differential is the usual way to allow the driving roadwheels to rotate at different speeds. This is necessary when the vehicle turns, making the wheel that is travelling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other. The engine is connected to the shaft rotating at angular velocity . The driving wheels are connected to the other two shafts, and and are equal. If the engine is running at a constant speed, the rotational speed of each driving wheel can vary, but the sum of the two wheels' speeds can not change. An increase in the speed of one wheel must be balanced by an equal decrease in the speed of the other.

1. Catherine Barber:

   What’s so striking to me is the differential burden for young black men. You don’t see these sort of differentials in health data very often, the scale is so huge for young black men – 90 per 100,000 for firearm homicides.

2. An Australian origination manager:

   For many Australian corporations, Green bonds are a good fit because they have natural green assets that can be ring-fenced for these instruments, as far as pricing is concerned, I do not expect a differential to develop between Green and standard bonds with the growth of the Green market likely to happen naturally as more investors participate in a widening array of Green-specific projects.

3. Baba Faiz:

4. Fraser Lundie:

   We are at multi-year wides in terms of the yield differential between US( high yield bonds) and Europe, that's driving some of the initial flow back into high yield.

5. The Oilers ':

   We knew they were going to start hard, and that’s exactly what happened, they scored a goal early in every period. We could n’t manage that the way we wanted, but we responded well and The Oilers '’s all that matters in the end Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl each scored twice for The Oilers '. Edmonton, which was playing the second of back-to-back games and for the third time in four nights, has outscored its opponents, 24-13. The Oilers ’ plus-11 goal differential is tied with Florida for best in the league.
