differentials
Differences between values
Differentials is the plural of differential, which describes differences or distinctions between things.
In mathematics, a differential is an infinitesimally small change in a variable.
In automotive mechanics, the differential is a gear system allowing wheels to rotate at different speeds when turning.
Pay differentials are wage gaps between workers: The company addressed gender differentials in salary.
Differential equations involve rates of change.
