Abstract

In Sections 1 and 2 we review multivariable integral calculus in order to prepare for complex integration in the next chapter. The salient features are Green’s theorem and independence of path for line integrals. In Section 3 we introduce harmonic functions, and in Sections 4 and 5 we discuss the mean value property and the maximum principle for harmonic functions. Sections 6 and 7 include various applications to physics. The student may proceed directly to complex integration in the next chapter after paging through the review of multivariable calculus in Sections 1 and 2 and reading about harmonic conjugates in Section 3.KeywordsHarmonic FunctionStream FunctionLaminar PlateStraight Line SegmentClosed PathThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
