Abstract
Although the BEM as a numerical tool in engineering analysis is relatively new, the mathematical basis is quite classical and goes back to the work of the mathematician George Green in the 9th century. In fact, the well known Green’s theorem and Green’s function are both fundamental to the BEM.
