Product Details
From the Preface to the First Edition: "An introduction to integral equations cannot present a complete picture of all classical aspects of the theory and of all recent developments. In this sense, this book intends to tell the reader what I think appropriate to teach students in a two-semester course on integral equations. I am willing to admit that the choice of a few of the topics might be biased by my own preferences and that some important subjects are omitted."
From the back cover: "This book originated from the author's fascination with the mathematical beauty of integral equations. It is an attempt to combine theory, applications, and numerical methods, and cover each of these with the same weight. In order to make the book accessible to mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, the author has made the work as self-contained as possible, by requiring only a sold foundation in differential and integral calculus. The functional analysis which is necessary for an adequate treatment of the theory and the numerical solution of integral equations is developed within the book. Problems are included at the end of each chapter.
"For the second edition, in addition to corrections and adjustments throughout the text, as well as an updated reference section, new topics have been added."
