Synopsis

Integral equations arise in a very wide variety of mathematical and scientific problems. This textbook is devoted to the study and solution of such equations and it simultaneously provides a unified treatment of the theory together with a description of the range of methods for their solution. Professor Kondo's wide experience in science and engineering ensures that the many applications presented here are both up-to-date and relevant to current problems. Throughout, a wide selection of exercises will help further a student's understanding of the subject as well as give them a familiarity with the most important methods of solution. Consequently, this book will be ideal for final year undergraduates and postgraduates studying integral equations for the first time. All the main classes of integral equations are covered, including Volterra, Fredholm, and nonlinear integral equations. The close relationship with differential equations is also explored in order that students develop an understanding of the relationship between the two classes of equation and their relative merits for solving problems.
