Abstract: In this paper, it is established, in the case of graphs, that time-like extremal surfaces of dimension $1+n$ in the Minkowski space of dimension $1+n+m$ can be described by a symmetric hyperbolic system of PDEs with the very simple structure (reminiscent of the inviscid Burgers equation)${\displaystyle }$ partial_t W + sum_{j=1}^n A_j(W)partial_{x_j} W =0,;;;W:;(t,x)inmathbb{R}^{1+n} ightarrow W(t,x)inmathbb{R}^{n+m+�inom{m+n}{n}},${\displaystyle }$where each $A_j(W)$ is just a $$ symmetric matrix dependinglinearly on $W$.
