Review text

The rough contents of this booklet are as follows: Chapter 1: The heat equation, Chapter 2: Metric spaces, Chapter 3: Banach spaces, Chapter 4: Power series, Chapter 5: The \(\mathbb R^2\) Dirichlet problem, Chapter 6: The \(\mathbb R^N\) Dirichlet problem. The work also contains a short bibliography and a subject index. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises which assists the reader to enhance more accurately the meaning of the theory exposed. The work provides in a clear way the very first fundamentals one needs in numerical approximation of complex variable functions and potential theory. The essentials of Banach spaces functional analysis are reviewed (some of them proven) in order to assure that the complex variable boundary element method can provide reliable approximate solutions to the Dirichlet problem in a bounded domain included in \(\mathbb R^N\), for an arbitrary \(N\) larger than or equal \(2\).
