2.27a,b. Just give the characteristic coordinates, not the
transformed equation.
2.28d. First find a particular solution. Next convert the
remaining homogeneous problem to characteristic coordinates.
Now solve the transformed PDE just like we did in class for the
wave equation; by first solving for a first order derivative (which
one?) and then integrating that derivative. Transform back to find
as a function of and .
2.28f. In this case, leave the inhomogeneous term in there,
don't try to find a particular solution for the original PDE.
Transform the full problem to characteristic coordinates.
Now solve the transformed equation and transform back.
