Example 25, Taken from https://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/209970-Exact-Solutions-For-PDE-And-Boundary--Initial-Conditions-2018
Linear PDE, initial conditions at \(t=1\). Solve for \(w(x_1,x_2,x_3,t)\) \[ w_t = w_{x_1 x_1} + w_{x_2 x_2} + w_{x_3 x_3} \] With initial condition \(w(x_1,x_2,x_3,1) = e^a x_1^2 +x_2 x_3\)
