Differential algebraic geometry is an area of differential algebra
Differential algebra
In mathematics, differential rings, differential fields, and differential algebras are rings, fields, and algebras equipped with a derivation, which is a unary function that is linear and satisfies the Leibniz product law...

 that adapts concepts and methods from algebraic geometry
Algebraic geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which combines techniques of abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with the language and the problems of geometry. It occupies a central place in modern mathematics and has multiple conceptual connections with such diverse fields as complex...

Another way of generalizing ideas from algebraic geometry is diffiety theory
Diffiety
In mathematics a diffiety, is a geometrical object introduced by playing the same role in the modern theory of partial differential equations as algebraic varieties play for algebraic equations....
