Understanding Laplace’s Equation

(This article builds on two earlier ones, Understanding the Heat Equation and Understanding the Wave Equation.) Having explored the meanings of the Heat Equation and Wave Equation together with you, I now want to tell you about a third differential equation, also highly significant, and closely connected to the other two: Laplace’s Equation. Here it is: ∇2F=0 In his excellent text Calculus, Gil…
