Jun 4, 2011 at 21:09 comment added Nilima Nigam YBL, thanks for the clarification. Indeed, we don't have a good global classification of PDEs, for the reasons alluded to in the answers below. For this reason, I don't find it helpful to belabor classification in PDE classes.
Jun 4, 2011 at 20:58 comment added AFK @Nilima Nigam. I think I took every precaution and made it very clear that the last question was a "bonus". I do have an algebraic geometry background but I'm keeping an open mind and I am willing to hear any point of vue. I'm just looking for a global approach to PDE's. The problem is that the answers I got were along the lines of "don't worry about it" or "we do things this way because it works". What I'm hoping for is an answer along the lines of "We don't have a good classification of PDE's for this reason and this reason..."

Jun 4, 2011 at 20:28 comment added Nilima Nigam Dear YBL, Q5 seems to invite opinion. Perhaps you could rephrase your question to make it more precise? I don't see how you can get a clear answer to this question. Some may find PDE intrinsically easier to grasp than algebraic geometry, others the reverse. You allude to a tortuous path to PDE for yourself. Are you asking how, given such a path, PDE can be made more accessible?
