Hi !

Do you know what is the link between a hyperbolic partial differential equation and the hyperbolic system of conservation laws (I do not see any link between the definition with the determinant, and the one with the diagonalizable matrix ?

Thank you for your answer. 83.203.131.95 17:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quadratic form

Is it correct that these are called a hyperbolic equation because the quadratic form corresponding to the matrix is a hyperbolic surface? —Ben FrantzDale 17:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting

Suggest boldface italic font used to signify vectors instead of the current arrow notation. — DIV (128.250.204.118 08:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC))
