2d Electrostatic Fields - A Complex Variable Approach

This book demonstrates how to use functions of a complex variable to solve engineering problems that obey the 2D Laplace equation (and in some cases the 2D Poisson equation). The book is written with the engineer/physicist in mind and the majority of the book focuses on electrostatics.
