Wronskian

In mathematics, the Wrońskian of n differentiable functions is the determinant formed with the functions and their n – 1 first derivatives. It was introduced in 1812 by the Polish mathematician Józef Hoene-Wroński, and is used in the study of differential equations, where it can sometimes show the linear independence of a set of solutions.
