Partial differential equations (PDEs) play a central role in modern mathematics because they allow us to describe a wide variety of real-world systems. PDEs have applications in biology (spread of species), medicine (growth of tumours), sociology (emigration rates), economics (option pricing), chemistry (reaction rates), physics (radiation of electromagnetic waves), engineering (optimal transportation), and artificial intelligence (learning theories). Fundamental concepts of PDEs and methods for solving them are therefore important for understanding nature and technology.
