ہم معنی الفاظ
discriminate (Very close in meaning; "discriminate" is more common, especially for clearly unfair treatment based on race, gender, etc.)
متضاد الفاظ
treat equally (Means to deal with everyone in the same way, which is the opposite of differentiating between them.)

ہم معنی الفاظ
take the derivative of (Longer and more explicit mathematical phrase with the same technical meaning.)
متضاد الفاظ
integrate (In calculus, integration is often described as the opposite process of differentiation.)
