Differential Algebraic Geometry

Differential algebraic geometry studies shapes and spaces defined by equations involving both algebraic expressions and derivatives, capturing the behavior of systems evolving over time or under change. It combines the principles of algebraic geometry—studying solutions of polynomial equations—with differential equations that describe how those solutions change. This field helps understand complex mathematical structures where both static relationships and dynamic processes are intertwined, providing tools to analyze systems in areas like physics, engineering, and robotics, where behavior over time matters, and the solutions have both algebraic and differential characteristics.
