Involution : the Formal Theory of Differential Equations and its Applications in Computer Algebra

Werner M. Seiler (Author)
The book provides a self-contained account of the formal theory of general, i.e. also under- and overdetermined, systems of differential equations which in its central notion of involution combines geometric, algebraic, homological and combinatorial ideas.
