  2. Partial derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

    It can be thought of as the rate of change of the function in the -direction.. Sometimes, for = (,, …), the partial derivative of with respect to is denoted as . Since a partial derivative generally has the same arguments as the original function, its functional dependence is sometimes explicitly signified by the notation, such as in:

  3. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  4. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations.Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation.

  5. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    The Taylor expansion would be: + where / denotes the partial derivative of f k with respect to the i-th variable, evaluated at the mean value of all components of vector x. Or in matrix notation , f ≈ f 0 + J x {\displaystyle \mathrm {f} \approx \mathrm {f} ^{0}+\mathrm {J} \mathrm {x} \,} where J is the Jacobian matrix .

  7. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  8. Change of variables (PDE) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables_(PDE)

    Often a partial differential equation can be reduced to a simpler form with a known solution by a suitable change of variables. The article discusses change of variable for PDEs below in two ways: by example; by giving the theory of the method.

  9. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    An ordinary differential equation is a differential equation that relates functions of one variable to their derivatives with respect to that variable. A partial differential equation is a differential equation that relates functions of more than one variable to their partial derivatives. Differential equations arise naturally in the physical ...
