Partial Differential Equations

                A Partial Differential Equation is differential equation in which the dependent varialble depends on two or more independent variables.



In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is a differential equation that contains unknown multi-variable functions and their partial derivatives. (A special case are ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which deal with functions of a single variable and their derivatives.) PDEs are used to formulate problems involving functions of several variables, and are either solved by hand, or used to create a relevant computer model.

The Laplace's equation The Laplace's equation is a Partial Differential Equation because f depends on two independent variables x and y.
