Hi,

1) You will not find in Sage what you are looking for; this is not the 
place and as a specialist of numerics for PDEs, I think it will remain 
like this.
2) You problem is not so easy: it is a first order equation of 
hyperbolic type and this is not easy to solve. For example the problem
du/dt+du/dx=0, for which we have an exact solution is not easy to solve 
numerically (at least one must process with care to avoid 
instabilities). Your problem is a bit more complicated. Solving the heat 
equation for example is much more easy.
3) for numerics on these first order problems, have a look at clawpack: 
it solves much more complicated problems (first order non linear 
systems- like gas dynamics for example), but it will solve easily your 
problem. You will have to know some bases on the numerical analysis of 
hyperbolic pde.
