“The book describes the mathematical model analytically and uses it to show how a boundary element method can be constructed and manipulated to compute a numerical solution. The book should be a good source of information for engineers, mathematicians and physicists interested in studying the boundary integral equation methods.” (Răzvan Răducanu, zbMATH 1339.74002, 2016)
