Boundary element methods are very important for solving boundary value problems in PDEs.Many boundary value problems of partial diffferential equations can be reduced into boundary integral equations by the natural boundary reduction .In this book the natural boundary integral method,suggested and developed by Feng and Yu,is introduced systematically.It is quite different from popuar boundary element methods and has many distinctive advantages The variational principle is conserved after the nat
