This document discusses partial differential equations and provides examples of solving some common types of PDEs. It covers: - The definition of a partial differential equation as a relationship between a dependent variable and two or more independent variables. - Methods for forming and solving first order linear PDEs using Lagrange's method of grouping or multipliers. - The one-dimensional wave equation and heat equation, and methods for solving them given initial conditions or boundary values. - An example of solving the one-dimensional wave equation for an initial deflection of 0.01sinx.
