Exercise 1: For each of the following PDEs, state its order and
whether it is linear or non-liner. If it is linear, also state whether it is
homogeneous or non-homogeneous:
Exercise 2: For each of the following PDEs, determine its order and
whether it is linear or not. For linear PDEs, state also whether the
equation is homogeneous or not; For non-linear PDEs, circle all term
(s) that are not linear.
