By integrating the Seiberg-Witten differential equation in a special path,
we write ordinary gauge fields in terms of their non-commutative counterpar
ts up to three non-commutative gauge fields. We then use this change of var
iables to write the ordinary abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action in terms of n
on-commutative fields. The resulting action is then compared with various l
ow-energy contact terms of world-sheet perturbative string scattering ampli
tudes from a non-commutative Dp-brane. We find complete agreement between t
he field theory and string theory results. Hence, it shows that perturbativ
e string theory knows the solution of the Seiberg-Witten differential equat
