Synopsis
This book is a concise introduction to Integral Equations, a relatively recent and exciting branch of the calculus which includes a wide variety of problems of mathematical physics. The author, a prominent mathematician, begins with the historical development of the subject, including Abel and Fredholm’s contributions. It then systematically develops the theory of integral equations, showing how it stems from the calculus. Here the author clearly explains the main ideas in the subject, focusing on linear equations of the first and second kinds, with special attention devoted to the Fredholm theory. Throughout, he provides numerous applications to mechanics and physics, and many exercises help illustrate the theory. Its broad scope of applications, explains the author, makes this theory of great importance in modern mathematics.
