The book that founded differential algebra: in Differential Equations from the Algebraic Standpoint, Joseph Fels Ritt turned polynomial algebra loose on whole systems at once.

Joseph Fels Ritt (1893-1951) took his doctorate at Columbia University in 1917, joined its faculty in 1921 and stayed for the rest of his career, becoming Davies Professor of Mathematics in 1945 and being elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1933. His book appeared in 1932 as volume fourteen of the American Mathematical Society's Colloquium Publications. It treats ordinary and partial algebraic differential equations as objects to be manipulated rather than solved, and builds an elimination theory that reduces the existence problem for a finite or infinite system to an application of the implicit function theorem.
