Description:
This book concerns the problem of evolution of a round oil spot surrounded by water when oil is extracted from a well inside the spot. It turns out that the boundary of the spot remains an algebraic curve of degree four in the course of evolution. This text discusses this topic and other recent work in the theory of fluid flows with a moving boundary.

Differential Equations From The Algebraic Standpointby Joseph Fels Ritt - The American Mathematical Society
We shall be concerned, in this monograph, with systems of differential equations, ordinary or partial, which are algebraic in the unknowns and their derivatives. The algebraic side of the theory of such systems seems is developed in this book.
