Is there any geometric reason for why these equations are also called "elliptic", "parabolic", and "hyperbolic"? Like what does the wave equation have to do with a hyperbola?

niyiqiul

Is there a system of PDEs?

YutianW

Is there any specific applications for elliptic equation, just as heat equation for heat and wave equation for wave simulation?

Starboy

Isn't the transport equation also one kind of important PDE?
