Chapter 2: First-Order Partial Differential Equations

This chapter is focused on first-order partial differential equations. This foray in first-order partial differential equations and their applications is self contained and independent of the remaining chapters of this text, thus it can be skipped or postponed without disrupting most other topics in the book. However, this chapter should be read before exploring the topics in Chap. 11 pertaining to nonlinear partial differential equations…
