2: Equations of First Order

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The main tool for studying related problems is the theory of ordinary differential equations, which is quite different for systems of partial differential of first order.

Thumbnail: Sir William Rowan Hamilton. Sir William Rowan Hamilton was an Irish physicist, astronomer, andmathematician, who made important contributions to classical mechanics, optics, and algebra. His studies of mechanical and optical systems led him to discover new mathematical concepts and techniques. His best known contribution to mathematical physics is the reformulation of Newtonian mechanics, now called Hamiltonian mechanics.
