Partial differential equations (PDEs) are multivariate differential equations where derivatives of more than one dependent variable occur. That is, the derivatives in the equation are partial derivatives. They are generalizations of ordinary differential equations covered in Chapter 9. Conceptually, the difference between ordinary and partial differential equations is small, but the computational techniques required to deal with ODEs and PDEs are very different, and solving PDEs is typically much more ...
