2 examples of the method of characteristics for solving PDEs

1. Use the method of characteristics to solve the advection equation du/dt=-kdu/dx-ru subject to the initial condition u(x,0)=f(x). 2. Use the method of characteristics to solve du/dt+te^(-t^2))du/dx=usin(t) subject to the initial condition u(x,0)=e^(-x^2)) (See attachment for the above questions formatt ...continues
