Summary First-Order Equations: Method of Characteristics
In this section, we describe a general technique for solving first-order equations. We begin with linear equations and work our way through the semilinear, quasilinear, and fully nonlinear cases. We start by looking at the case when u is a function of only two variables as that is the easiest to picture geometrically. Towards the end of the section, we show how this technique extends to functions u of n variables
