Similarity transformations for partial differential equations

The main emphasis of this talk is on the importance of similarity transformations and their applications to partial differential equations. Transformations of special groups useful for producing similarity solutions. Well-known problems in mathematical physics, such as the wave equation, heat conduction equation, and boundary layer equations discussed using transformations.
