This wiki looks like a great resource for people like me who don't deal with PDE's full time, but need help every once in a while. One request: could someone compile a page discussing the notation? As a physicist, I hardly ever see (for example) Δ used to denote the Laplacian; usually, it's ∇<sup>2</sup>. Without a central notation page, it's hard to decipher some of the equations. And does y<sub>x</sub> mean the partial derivative of y with respect to x? Thanks. [[User:JessRiedel|JessRiedel]] 10:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC) | |||

Connections to other Wikis
There is a list of Math Wiki's on Wikipedia. See for example the collection of PDE related pages on wikipedia. For basic concepts in PDE, perhaps we should further develop those pages. For more specialized resources like a bibliography, it may be better to use this space. Colliand 11:28, 15 September 2006 (EDT)
Notation
This wiki looks like a great resource for people like me who don't deal with PDE's full time, but need help every once in a while. One request: could someone compile a page discussing the notation? As a physicist, I hardly ever see (for example) Δ used to denote the Laplacian; usually, it's ∇2. Without a central notation page, it's hard to decipher some of the equations. And does yx mean the partial derivative of y with respect to x? Thanks. JessRiedel 10:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
