How to read this code?

savecancel

Here is what I get.

var('y t s k')
y=function('y',x,t)
de=diff(y,t,2)-diff(y,x,2)==k*sin(pi*x)
de.laplace(t,s)

gives

s^2*laplace(y(x, t), t, s) - D[0](y)(x, t)^2*D[0, 0](laplace)(y(x, t), t, s) - s*y(x, 0) - D[0](laplace)(y(x, t), t, s)*D[0, 0](y)(x, t) - D[1](y)(x, 0) == k*sin(pi*x)/s

Within this expression, the meanings are:

$\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}$ = D[1](y)(x, t)

$\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}$ = D[0](y)(x, t)

$\frac{\partial^2 y}{\partial t^2}$ = D[1, 1](y)(x, t)

$\frac{\partial^2 y}{\partial x^2}$ = D[0, 0](y)(x, t)

So, D[0](y)(0, x) is $\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}|_{t=0}$.

You can check the first one above by doing diff(y,t).
