For the analysis of the r-mode oscillation of hot young neutron stars, it is necessary to consider the effect of it differential rotation, because viscosity is not strong enough for differentially rotating young neutron stars to be lead to uniformly rotating configurations on a very short time scale after their birth. In this paper, we have developed a numerical scheme to solve r-mode oscillations of differentially rotating polytropic inviscid stars. This is the extended version of the method which was applied to compute r-mode oscillations of uniformly rotating Newtonian polytropic stars. By using this new method, we have succeeded in obtaining eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of r-mode oscillations of differentially rotating polytropic stars. Our numerical results show that as the degree of differential rotation is increased, it becomes more difficult to solve r-mode oscillations for slightly deformed configurations from sphere compared to solving r-mode oscillations of considerably deformed stars. One reason for it seems that for slightly deformed stars corotation points appear near the surface region if the degree of differential rotation is strong enough. This is similar to the situation that the perturbational approach of r-mode oscillations for it slowly rotating stars in general relativity results in a singular eigenvalue problem.
