Abstract

We prove that each countable differential field of characteristic 0 can be embedded into the differential ring of infinitely differentiable functions from the algebraic numbers to the complex numbers. This statement remains valid when we replace the set of algebraic numbers by an arbitrary non-empty countable set of complex numbers without any isolated points.
