Paperback. Pub Date: 2004 Pages: 259 in Publisher: World Publishing Company Harmonic functions - the solutions of Laplace's equation - play a crucial role in many areas of mathematics. physics. and engineering. But learning about them is not always easy. At times the authors have agreed with Lord Kelvin and Peter Tait. who wrote (18. Preface) There can be but one opinion as to the beauty and utility of this analysis of Laplace; but the manner in which it has been hitherto presented has seemed repulsive to the ablest mathematicians. and difficult to ordinary mathematical students.
