\begin{equation}
\zeta =x-ct,\eta=x+ct
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\p\eta}{\p x}=1,\frac{\p\zeta}{\p x}=1
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\p\eta}{\p t}=c,\frac{\p\zeta}{\p t}=-c
\end{equation}
对任意变量关于$\zeta,\eta$的函数
\begin{equation}
\frac{\p}{\p x}=\frac{\p}{\p\eta}\frac{\p\eta}{\p x}+\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}\frac{\p\zeta}{\p x}=\frac{\p}{\p\eta}+\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\p}{\p t}=\frac{\p}{\p\eta}\frac{\p\eta}{\p t}+\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}\frac{\p\zeta}{\p t}=c\frac{\p}{\p\eta}-c\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\p^2}{\p x^2}=\left(\frac{\p}{\p\eta}+\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}\right)\left(\frac{\p}{\p\eta}+\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}\right)=\frac{\p^2}{\p\eta^2}+\frac{\p^2}{\p\zeta^2}+2\frac{\p^2}{\p\eta\p\zeta}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\p^2}{\p t^2}=\left(c\frac{\p}{\p\eta}-c\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}\right)\left(c\frac{\p}{\p\eta}-c\frac{\p}{\p\zeta}\right)=c^2\frac{\p^2}{\p\eta^2}+c^2\frac{\p^2}{\p\zeta^2}-2c^2\frac{\p^2}{\p\eta\p\zeta}
\end{equation}
