\[w \left (x , y , z\right ) = \mathit {\_F1} \left (\frac {a y -b x}{a}, \frac {a \ln \left (\frac {\tan \left (\gamma z \right )}{\sqrt {\tan ^{2}\left (\gamma z \right )+1}}\right )-\gamma c x}{\gamma c}\right )\]
Hand solution
Solve \begin {equation} aw_{x}+bw_{y}+c\tan \left ( \gamma z\right ) w_{z}=0 \tag {1} \end {equation}
Using Lagrange-charpit
\[ \frac {dx}{a}=\frac {dy}{b}=\frac {dz}{c\tan \left ( \gamma z\right ) }=\frac {dw}{0}\]
From first two pair of equation we obtain \(\frac {b}{a}x-y=C_{1}\) and from \(\frac {dx}{a}=\frac {dz}{c\tan \left ( \gamma z\right ) }\) we obtain \(\frac {c}{a}x-\frac {1}{\gamma }\ln \left ( \sin \left ( \gamma z\right ) \right ) =C_{2}\). Since \(dw=0\) and \(w=C_{3}\). Where \(C_{1},C_{2},C_{3}\) are constants. But \(C_{3}=F\left ( C_{1},C_{2}\right ) \) where \(F\) is arbitrary function. Hence
\[ u\left ( x,y,z\right ) =F\left ( \frac {b}{a}x-y,\frac {c}{a}x-\frac {1}{\gamma }\ln \left ( \sin \left ( \gamma z\right ) \right ) \right ) \]

\[w \left (x , y , z\right ) = \mathit {\_F1} \left (\frac {-b \beta x +a \ln \left (\frac {\tan \left (\beta y \right )}{\sqrt {\tan ^{2}\left (\beta y \right )+1}}\right )}{b \beta }, -\frac {-2 a \lambda z +c \ln \left (\tan ^{2}\left (\lambda x \right )+1\right )}{2 a \lambda }\right )\]
Hand solution
Solve \begin {equation} aw_{x}+b\tan \left ( \beta y\right ) w_{y}+c\tan \left ( \lambda x\right ) w_{z}=0 \tag {1} \end {equation}
Using Lagrange-charpit
\[ \frac {dx}{a}=\frac {dy}{b\tan \left ( \beta y\right ) }=\frac {dz}{c\tan \left ( \lambda x\right ) }=\frac {dw}{0}\]
From first two pair of equations, integrating gives \(\frac {b}{a}x-\frac {1}{\beta }\ln \left ( \sin \left ( \beta y\right ) \right ) =C_{1}\) and from \(\frac {dx}{a}=\frac {dz}{c\tan \left ( \lambda x\right ) }\) we obtain \(\frac {c}{a}\tan \left ( \lambda x\right ) dx=dz\). Integrating gives \(-\frac {c}{a\lambda }\ln \left ( \cos \left ( \lambda x\right ) \right ) -z=C_{2}\). Since \(dw=0\) then \(w=C_{3}\). Where \(C_{1},C_{2},C_{3}\) are constants. But \(C_{3}=F\left ( C_{1},C_{2}\right ) \) where \(F\) is arbitrary function. Hence
\[ u\left ( x,y,z\right ) =F\left ( \frac {b}{a}x-\frac {1}{\beta }\ln \left ( \sin \left ( \beta y\right ) \right ) ,-\frac {c}{a\lambda }\ln \left ( \cos \left ( \lambda x\right ) \right ) -z\right ) \]
