Rule for Differentials

The rules for differentials are exactly analogous to those for derivatives.

$13.52$: $\map \d {u \pm v \pm w \cdots} = \d u \pm \d v \pm \d w \pm \cdots$

$13.53$: $\map \d {u v} = u \rd v + v \rd u$

$13.54$: $\map \d {\dfrac u v} = \dfrac {v \rd u - u \rd v} {v^2}$

$13.55$: $\map \d {u^n} = n u^{n - 1} \rd u$

$13.56$: $\map \d {\sin u} = \cos u \rd u$

$13.57$: $\map \d {\cos u} = -\sin u \rd u$
