Often a partial differential equation can be reduced to a simpler form with a known solution by a suitable change of variables. The article discusses change of variable for PDEs below in two ways: #by example; #by giving the theory of the method. ==Explanation by example== For example the following simplified form of the Black–Scholes PDE : is reducible to the heat equation : by the change of variables:〔Ömür Ugur, ''An Introduction to Computational Finance'', Series in Quantitative Finance, v. 1, Imperial College Press, 298 pp., 2009〕 : : : : in these steps: * Replace by and apply the chain rule to get :: * Replace and by and to get :: * Replace and by and and divide both sides by to get :: * Replace by and divide through by to yield the heat equation. Advice on the application of change of variable to PDEs is given by mathematician J. Michael Steele:〔J.
