This lecture covers the definition of total differential in the context of a smooth function over an open set in Euclidean space, introducing infinitesimal increments and curvilinear integrals. It explores the fundamental theorem of integral calculus, demonstrating the relationship between differentials and parametric curves. The lecture concludes with applications of total differentials in formal calculations and the theory of differential forms.
