Differential projective modules over differential rings

Differential modules over a commutative differential ring which are projective as ring modules, with differential homomorphisms, form an additive category. Every projective ring module is shown occurs as the underlying module of a differential module. Differential modules, projective as ring modules, are shown to be direct summands of differential modules free as ring modules; those which are differential direct summands of differential direct sums of the ring being induced from the subring of constants. Every differential module finitely generated and projective as a ring module is shown to have this form after a faithfully flat finitely presented differential extension of the base.
