This book describes the derivation of some fundamental solutions which in themselves are very helpful and valuable to lay the foundation for the theory of boundary element methods. It examines the two-dimensional potential problems, involving the Laplace and the Poisson equations. > The finite element and the boundary element methods are the two most important developments in numerical mathematics to occur in this century. Many engineering and mathematics graduate curricula now include a course in boundary element methods. Such a course must cover numerical methods, basic methodology to real problems, and interactive computer usage. Both theory and applications, necessary for applied courses, are available in this new textbook.An Introduction to Boundary Element Methods is logically organized and easy to read. The topics are carefully selected and meticulously presented. Applications are described for use in identifying potential problems and for heat transfer, diffusion equationss
