www.math.toronto.edu › ivrii › PDE-textbookThe aim of this is to introduce and motivate partial di erential equations (PDE). The section also places the scope of studies in APM346 within the vast universe of mathematics. A partial di erential equation (PDE) is an gather involving partial derivatives. This is not so informative so let’s break it down a bit. 1.1.1 What is a di erential ...
