In doing so, it advances the mathematics of hyperbolic partial differential equations in multiple dimensions. The book begins by establishing a method to numerically solve two-dimensional Riemann problems. It then classifies and elucidates the trajectories of elementary waves. Finally, the author discusses open questions in the field with far-reaching implications not only in theoretical mathematics but also in applied mathematics such as oil reservoir simulations, and in other disciplines such as chemically reacting flows and nonlinear elasticity. The presentation gradually increases the complexity of the introduced theoretical objects and the author concludes with some of the most pressing questions in the field today. This book will be of use to pure and applied mathematicians and accessible to graduate students and researchers who have had an undergraduate course in partial differential equations.
