Wronskian

In mathematics, the Wronskian of differentiable functions is the determinant of a matrix formed by the functions and their derivatives up to order . It was introduced in 1812 by the Polish mathematician Józef Wroński, and is used in the study of differential equations, where it can show the linear independence of certain sets of solutions.
