    I'm not sure if they are in syllabus but what i do know is they are very helpful in finding definite integrals. So, i'd recommend reading about them.

    I think all methods w.r.t quasi linear PDE and only Cauchy's Method of Characteristics in Non-Linear.

    In the syllabus that's why they make a distinction of till Quasi-Linear and Non-Linear.
