It begins by establishing the analytic foundations — first-order PDEs, method of characteristics, and Cauchy problems for simpler systems — and progresses to more advanced topics such as second-order linear PDEs (elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic types), their solution domains, and stability/uniqueness issues. Emphasis is placed on both theoretical framework (existence, uniqueness, stability) and applications, with worked examples and exercises to solidify understanding. The structure allows students with a background in calculus and differential equations to transition into the study of PDEs relevant to physics, engineering and applied mathematics ER -
