Summary
Mathematical development, the author of this text observes, comes about through specific, easily understood problems that require difficult solutions and demand the use of new methods. Richard Courant employs this instructive approach in a text that balances the individuality of mathematical objects with the generality of mathematical methods.Beginning with a discussion of Dirichlet’s principle and the boundary-value problem of potential theory, the text proceeds to examinations of conformal …

About The Author
Richard Courant
The late Richard Courant, headed the Department of Mathematicas at New York University and was Director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences–which has subsequently renamed the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. His book Mathematical Physics is familiar to every physicist, and his bookDifferential and Integral Calculus is acknowledged to be one of the best presentations of the subject written in modern times.
