Hello folks,
Let me explain this.
Much effort, time, methods and books is devoted to the science of finding solutions of differential equations. But I cannot find anywhere the reverse problem.
Basically I am thinking about the work that Maxwell did finding the differential equations that describe Electrodynamics. Is there a mathematical branch studying this? I mean you have solutions, and you need to find a set of differential equations compatible with them.
Is this studied in a systematic manner?
Thanks.
