Exploring Shock Waves: A Mathematical Analysis

[DifferentialGalois]

Homework Statement

I don't understand anything they do after 1:26 constructing the first diagram ("the zooming in part") and devising the integral.

Relevant Equations

provided here from 1:26 ONWARDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er512TwsxNM&t=86s

the attempted is the above ex. i needa justify why and figure out the reason behind those relevant equations.

puzzled at everything. may someone start from scratch

If most of the video is puzzling, maybe is not the right point for you to start?

I've only looked at the zooming in part so far, and might not get further today, but it does not give me great confidence in the tutor.
