PDE Solutions Using Separation of Variables

This document contains 15 multiple choice questions about partial differential equations and their classification. The questions cover identifying the order of PDEs, determining if they are linear or non-linear, homogeneous or non-homogeneous, classifying them as parabolic, elliptic or hyperbolic, and identifying boundary conditions and eigenfunctions. Example PDEs include the heat equation, wave equation, and eigenvalue problems.
