Poisson worked on which type of equations?
Linear
Partial differential
Quadratic
Cubic
Answer
Partial differential equations are mathematical equations that involve partial derivatives of a function with respect to multiple independent variables. Poisson's work focused on this type of equation, particularly in the context of heat flow and elasticity. His contributions to the field include the development of the Poisson equation, which is a second-order partial differential equation that describes the potential energy of a system.
