When could a diligent calculus student compute all Picard iterates algebraically?
As is well known, in the typical proof of the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, one shows the existence of a solution of the initial value problem $y'(t) = f(t,y(t))$, $y(t_0) = y_0$ by considering the Picard ...

Reference request, or maybe not really a reference request, on differential algebra
Of differential algebra, Gian-Carlo Rota wrote:
No elementary presentation of this beautiful subject has ever been attempted, to the best of my knowledge; Cohen’s book of the twenties is the closest, ...

Are all solutions to an ordinary differential equation continuous solutions to the associated implied differential equation and vice versa?
Now I have to heavily emphasize the fact that I have never studied differential algebra or the concept of other types of differentiation (which is what I believe is the concept behind a differential ...
