Differential Galois theory

In mathematics, differential Galois theory studies the Galois groups of differential equations.

Overview

Whereas algebraic Galois theory studies extensions of algebraic fields, differential Galois theory studies extensions of differential fields, i.e. fields that are equipped with a derivation, D. Much of the theory of differential Galois theory is parallel to algebraic Galois theory. One difference between the two constructions is that the Galois groups in differential Galois theory tend to be matrix Lie groups, as compared with the finite groups often encountered in algebraic Galois theory.

gollark: They would have close buttons but they would only work 50% of the time.
gollark: Oh, and ones asking for cookie consent and newsletter signup.
