Assignment-1 (Partial Differential Equations (PDE) For Engineers)

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, and classifying them as parabolic, elliptic or hyperbolic. Additional questions address identifying Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions, eigenfunctions, self-adjoint operators, and determining eigenvalues for sample eigenvalue problems.
