differential coefficient

• Término en desuso para la derivada de una función en cálculo matemático, que indica la tasa de cambio de una magnitud respecto a otra. En matemáticas modernas se sustituye principalmente por el término más simple «derivada».

An older term for the derivative of a function in calculus, representing the rate at which a quantity changes with respect to another variable. It has largely been replaced by the simpler term 'derivative' in modern mathematics.
