Partial Differential equation (First order)
Partial differential equation are those equation which contain partial differential coefficient, independent variables and dependent variables. The independent variable will be denoted by x and y and the dependent variable by z . The partial differential equation coefficient are denoted as follows.


Orders
Order of a partial differential equation is the same as that of the order of the highest differential coefficient in it.
