My plan is not to use any external software that would introduce extra dependencies for Sympy. So I'll be basically writing these from scratch. About the implementation - it will be a trial-and-error method as there is yet no systematic approach on solving PDEs (so possibility to give hints to the solver is a must). And I am concentrating mostly on the equations of mathematical physics. No plans about heuristic methods and symmetry methods (yet). But ideas for solver so far: * Determine the order of the PDE * Pattern matching (number of partial derivatives, special cases, change of variables) * PDEs of second order with no more than two variables - reduce to canonical form * And also consider the user-given hints > I saw no mention of numerical PDE solvers. Are you planning on > only implementing symbolic solvers? I currently have no plans for numerical solvers, but hopefully it will be possible to plot my solutions. > Can you possibly compare to known symbolic solvers (Maple for > example or Mathematica might have some?). So far I have only worked with PDEs by hand :P I have used Maple a bit in school, but I have not done any PDE stuff with it. And I do not have access to Mathematica. I will try to add these details to my application.
