Jul 13, 2015 · The right question is not "What is a differential?" but "How do differentials behave?". Let me explain this by way of an analogy. Suppose I teach you all the rules for adding and multiplying …

Oct 3, 2019 · I am a bit confused about differentials, and this is probably partly due to what I find to be a rather confusing teaching approach. (I know there are a bunch of similar questions around, but none o...

Anyone who sees calculus in application is likely to encounter both derivatives and differentials. The two concepts have confusingly similar notation. For that reason, this post is a very important contribution.

Nov 3, 2016 · What bothers me is this definition is completely circular. I mean we are defining differential by differential itself. Can we define differential more precisely and rigorously? P.S. Is it possible to …

Jul 21, 2018 · 75 can someone please informally (but intuitively) explain what "differential form" mean? I know that there is (of course) some formalism behind it - definition and possible operations with …

Aug 6, 2020 · Speaking about ALL differential equations, it is extremely rare to find analytical solutions. Further, simple differential equations made of basic functions usually tend to have ludicrously complic...

Jul 19, 2019 · However, here, differential forms are sections of the cotangent bundle, and the fibers $\bigwedge T^*_xM$ do not have a natural norm so I'm not sure how to measure how ``far'' away a …

Next semester (fall 2021) I am planning on taking a grad-student level differential topology course but I have never studied differential geometry which is a pre-requisite for the course. My plan i...
