Abstract: We develop a method for evaluation of A. Einstein's strength of systems of partial differential and difference equations based on the computation of Hilbert-type dimension polynomials of the associated differential and difference field extensions. Also we present algorithms for such computations, which are based on the Gr"obner basis method adjusted for the modules over rings of differential, difference and inversive difference operators. The developed technique is applied to some fundamental systems of PDEs of mathematical physics such as the diffusion equation, Maxwell equations and equations for an electromagnetic field given by its potential. In each of these cases we determine the strength of the original system of PDEs and the strength of the corresponding systems of partial difference equations obtained by forward and symmetric difference schemes. In particular, we obtain a method for comparing two difference schemes from the point of view of their strength.
