Summary: For the scalar linear hyperbolic partial differential equations in two independent variables to be factorizable, the Laplace invariants \(h\) or \(k\) must be zero. In this paper, we find the Riemann function for the Goursat problem using the Lie group theoretical method where the hyperbolic equation involved is factorized. What emerges is that the ordinary differential equation whose solution gives the Riemann function for the Goursat problem is factorizable. Finally, an example is given as application of the method.
