Partial differentialequations are at the ... conceptually, to thesolutionof large numbers of simultaneous algebraic equations. When such equations are nonlinear, they are usually solved by linearization and iteration; so without muchloss of generality ... Recipes dealing with partial differentialequations alone. (Thereferences[1-4]provide, of course, available alternatives.)In most mathematics books, partial differentialequations (PDEs) are classifiedinto...
