4: Hyperbolic Equations

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

Here we consider hyperbolic equations of second order, mainly wave equations.

Thumbnail: A solution to the 2D wave equation. (CC-SA-By-4.0; BrentHFoster). The wave equation is an important second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves, such as sound waves, light waves and water waves. It arises in fields like acoustics, electromagnetics, and fluid dynamics.
