Partial differential equations (PDEs) are a class of mathematical problems that represent the interplay of multiple variables, and therefore have predictive power when it comes to complex physical ...

Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really ...

The honor, like a Nobel Prize for mathematics, was given this year to Luis Caffarelli for his work on partial differential equations. By Kenneth Chang As a mathematician, Luis A. Caffarelli of the ...
