To find the solution of this equation, we assume that the solution is φ = constant. We can re-write a different form of this equation by substituting <math>\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} = M</math> and <math>\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y} = N</math>. This yields <math>(\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}) dt + (\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}) dy = 0</math>, which makes sense.

to find φ, we integrate M with respect to t and N with respect to y. This will give us two different equations. To find φ , we
