Jacobi's method,
n. a method for solving a first-order partial differential equation of the form
F(x1,x2,..., xn,∂z/∂x1,∂z/∂x2,...,∂z/∂xn) = 0,
in which the dependent variable z does not occur explicitly; it is an elaboration of Charpit's method for equations with more than two independent variables.
