How Symmetry Helps Scientists Solve Difficult Wave Equation

Understanding the Challenge At the Dynamic Systems Workshop at Stellenbosch University, Dr Ali Raza explained how mathematicians solve the most complex wave equations in physics. These equations describe how vibrations, signals, and energy move in different environments. The problem is that once the wave equations become “nonlinear” the classic mathematical tricks no longer work.   …
