A trick on PDE??
Hi all.
I am reading a text in mathematical wave theory.
I saw and am confused by a manipulation of a PDE, as shown in the attached figure.
I don't really undertand how the equation (1.9) is transformed by "introducing the charcteristic variables). (as indicated by the red arrow and the question mark)
I guess there are some missing steps? Could somone fill in the missing links so that I could know what's going on there.
