It is well known that a harmonic function on a ball in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) which is continuous up to the boundary can be represented as the Poisson integral of its boundary values, and that the same is true of a bounded harmonic function on a halfspace which is continuous up to the boundary. The author offers proofs of these representations based on the heat kernel, Green's identity and reflection in the boundary.
