Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

parabolic

The classification for a PDE whose discriminant D = B^2 - 4AC is exactly zero, e.g. the heat equation.

A second-order linear PDE is parabolic at a point where $D=B^2-4AC=0$ ; the heat equation ( $A=1$ , $B=C=0$ ) is parabolic everywhere.
