Questions and Answers

What is a partial differential equation (PDE)?

  • An equation with no derivatives
  • An equation containing unknown multi variables with their partial derivatives (correct)
  • An equation with integer variables
  • An equation with only one variable and its derivatives

In numerical simulation, why is it important to find the exact solutions of partial differential equations?
