Qualitative Theory of Planar Differential Systems
The book deals essentially with systems of polynomial autonomous ordinary differential equations in two real variables. The emphasis is mainly qualitative, although attention is also given to more algebraic aspects as a thorough study of the center/focus

Preface
Our aim is to study ordinary differential equations or simply differential systems in two real variables x˙ = P (x, y), (0.1) y˙ = Q(x, y), where P and Q are C r functions defined on an open subset U of R2 , with r = 1, 2, . . . , ∞, ω. As usual C ω stands for analyticity. We put special emphasis onto polynomial differential systems, i.e., on systems (0.1) where P and Q are polynomials. Instead of talking about the differential system (0.1), we frequently talk about its associated vector field X = P (x, y)
∂ ∂ + Q(x, y) ∂x ∂y
(0.2)
on U ⊂ R2 . This will enable a coordinate-free approach, which is typical in the theory of dynamical systems. Another way expressing the vector field is by writing it as X = (P, Q). In fact, we do not distinguish between the differential system (0.1) and its vector field (0.2). Almost all the notions and results that we present for two-dimensional differential systems can be generalized to higher dimensions and manifolds; but our goal is
