| finite differencenoun | A difference between the value of a function evaluated at a number, and the value of the same function evaluated at a different number, a fixed distance from the first. |
| equidifferencenoun | (mathematics) An equal difference. |
| diff eqnoun | (mathematics, informal) A differential equation. |
| common differencenoun | (mathematics) The constant added to each element of an arithmetic progression to obtain the next. |
| differentialnoun | A qualitative or quantitative difference between similar or comparable things. |
| differential equationnoun | (calculus) An equation involving the derivatives of a function. |
| difference quotientnoun | (calculus) The average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval [a,,a+h]. As h approaches zero, the value of (f(a+h)-f(a))/h approaches the derivative or instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=a. |

| antidifferencenoun | A function F(x) is the antidifference of f(x) if F(x+1)-F(x)=f(x). |
| differential operatornoun | (mathematics, mathematical analysis) An operator defined as a function of the differentiation operator (the operator which maps functions to their derivatives). |
| codifferentialnoun | (differential geometry) the formal adjoint of the exterior derivative; a differential-geometric version of the divergence operator; the exterior derivative sandwiched between two Hodge star operators with some additional factor(s) that take(s) care of the sign; the Hermitian conjugate of the exterior derivative under the inner product for k-form fields over some manifold M: (α,β)=∫_Mα∧⋆β, so that (α,dβ)=(δα,β). |
| delay differential equationnoun | (calculus) a type of differential equation in which the derivative of the unknown function at a certain time is given in terms of the values of the function at previous times |
| partial differential equationnoun | (calculus) A differential equation that involves the partial derivatives of a function of several variables. |
| partial differentialnoun | (mathematics) an infinitesimal change in a variable in a partial derivative, or the result of partial differentiation |
| automatic differentiationnoun | (mathematics, computing) Exact differentiation of functions represented in program code by inspecting the code (as opposed to mere evaluation) and repeated application of the chain rule. |
| different | Not the same; exhibiting a difference. |
| disequalitynoun | (mathematics) inequality, inequation |
| differentiationnoun | The act or process of differentiating (generally, without a specialized sense). |
| difference setnoun | (combinatorics) A subset of a group such that any element of the group can be expressed as the difference (or the quotient) of two elements in such subset. |
| affected equationnoun | (obsolete, mathematics) A polynomial equation in two variables |
