This document explores the fundamental types of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), specifically focusing on linear PDEs characterized by their dependence on unknown functions and their derivatives. We will examine various steady-state PDEs, emphasizing elliptic equations and their real-world applications such as temperature distribution on heated plates and water seepage under dams. Additionally, we will investigate parabolic and hyperbolic PDEs, highlighting their unique features regarding time and space variations. This guide serves as an introduction to the classification and examples of PDEs.

Part Eight Partial Differential Equations
Some Examples of PDEs Linear PDE: if it is linear in the unknown function andall its derivatives, with coefficients depending only on the independent variables. (Which of the above are linear?)
Steady-state PDEs – Elliptic Equations (a) Temperature distribution on a heated plate; (b) seepage of water under a dam; (3) the electric field near the point of a conductor.
Parabolic PDEs- The unknown function varies in both space and time -(only first derivative vs. time is involved)
Hyperbolic PDEs- The unknown function varies in both space and time -(The second derivative vs. time is also involved)
