Abstract
Non-linear partial differential equations in physics are discussed using water waves in a channel as an illustration. Weakly non-linear waves, wave breaking shocks, and solitary waves are considered. Although these topics have been understood for many years, they are unfamiliar to the majority of physicists. They are also the background to the recent advances in non-linear physics which will be discussed in a companion paper.
