what am i doing wrong???

Error, (in pdsolve/sys) too many arguments; some or all of the following are wrong: [{u(r, t)}, {u(1, t) = 0, u(r, 0) = 0, diff(u(r, t), t) = -2}]

DOES ANYONES HAS THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF HOW I COULD MODEL AND SUMILATE THE WAVE PATTERN OF A REGISTERED EARTHQUAKE??? FOR INSTANCE I AM STUDYING THE EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS OF THE NOVEMBER QUAKE IN GUATEMALA OF LAST YEAR. I WOULD LIKE TO MODEL THE MOVEMENT OF THAT QUAKE OVER A GIVEN AREA NEAR THE EPICENTER.

ANY HINTS OF HOW I COULD EVEN START TO MAKE THE MODEL AND SIMULATE??

hey guys, i need to do a couple presentations where i need to present some animations of equations such as

f(x) := a*(2*x^3 + x^2 - 3*x)    a=1..10

the question is how can i take the animation provided by maple and convert it to a some sort

 of video file such as and .avi file??

how can i input and solve  the one dimensional wave equation with intial and boundry conditions???
