Abstract
Examination of systems of differential equations began in the early 1900’s with the work of G. D. Birkhoff and R. E. Langer (see [2] for example.), R. L. Wilder and L. Schlesinger. G. A. Bliss [3] in 1926 seems to have been the first to discuss regular, self-adjoint differential systems. Additional references to their works may be found in the papers of Birkhoff and Langer [2], and in the book [4] by Coddington and Levinson.
