Question 1
Consider the first-order PDE ∂u/∂x + ∂u/∂y = 0. Prove that it represents a wave equation under certain boundary conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about how each characteristic relates to the movement of waves.
Question 2
Formulate a problem where a second-order PDE is necessary to describe heat transfer in a rod over time.
💡 Hint: Consider how heat dissipates in a one-dimensional space over time.
