Differentially Closed Field
In mathematics, a differential field K is differentially closed if every finite system of differential equations with a solution in some differential field extending K already has a solution in K. This concept was introduced by Robinson (1959). Differentially closed fields are the analogues for differential equations of algebraically closed fields for polynomial equations.

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or field:
“A closed mouth catches no flies.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
