About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the first edition:
"The textbook can be recommended strongly to graduate students as well as to researchers working in the field of Boundary Element Methods. Since the basic mathematical and physical knowledge needed to understand the methodology is given at the beginning of the book … the book can be either used for self-study or as the basis for a university course. Researchers who need to learn more about extensions and alternative approaches to the classical BEM certainly will appreciate the second and third parts of the book." (O. von Estorff, ZAMM - Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 85 (10), 2005)
"Over the past decades, the boundary element method has emerged as a versatile and powerful tool for the solution of engineering problems, presenting in many cases an alternative to the more widely used finite element method. As with any numerical method, the engineer or scientist who applies it to a practical problem needs to be acquainted with, and understand, its basic principles to be able to apply it correctly and be aware of its limitations. The present book is very helpful in this direction." (Ján Sládek, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1071, 2005)
