Abstract
This project provides how the method of characteristics is applied to derive
the fundamental solution of linear homogeneous wave equation and how shock
waves and shock solutions are formed by a discontinuous initial condition.
Moreover, it provides how the solution of the linear non-homogeneous wave
equation is determined by combining the split equations, the homogeneous
wave equation with non-zero initial data and the non-homogeneous wave
equation with zero initial data using method of characteristics.
