Many physical problems that are usually solved by differential equation
methods can be solved more effectively by integral equation methods.
Such problems abound in applied mathematics, theoretical mechanics, and
mathematical physics. This uncorrected soft cover reprint of the second
edition places the emphasis on applications and presents a variety of
techniques with extensive examples.Originally published in 1971, Linear
Integral Equations is ideal as a text for a beginning graduate level
course. Its treatment of boundary value problems also makes the book
useful to researchers in many applied fields.
