What is a Partial Differential Equation?
Think about functions with more than one variable.
What do we need to eliminate to form a PDE from a function?
Consider what you differentiate in your example.
What is the primary purpose of forming a PDE?
Think about the broad application of PDEs in science.
True or False: A PDE can only contain constants.
Recall the examples we discussed.
Given the equation z = f(x) + g(y), derive a second-order PDE and describe the steps.
What relationships do you establish between your derivatives?
Form a PDE from z = ax² + by² + cxy and explain your reasoning.
Explore how differentiation simplifies the function while removing constants!
