Differential Algebra

Differential Algebra

In mathematics, differential rings, differential fields, and differential algebras are rings, fields, and algebras equipped with a derivation, which is a unary function that is linear and satisfies the Leibniz product rule. A natural example of a differential field is the field of rational functions C(t) in one variable, over the complex numbers, where the derivation is differentiation with respect to t.

Famous quotes containing the words differential and/or algebra:

    But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
