This book investigates the transformation of domain integrals into boundary integrals within the context of the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Authored by W. Tang, this work delves into the mathematical and computational techniques required to reformulate problems typically solved using domain-based methods into a boundary-only formulation. It focuses on the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of this transformation, aiming to provide a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners in computational mechanics and engineering mathematics.

This text is recognized as a specialized contribution to the field of numerical methods in engineering, particularly focusing on advanced aspects of the Boundary Element Method. Its technical depth suggests it is aimed at an audience with a strong background in mathematics and computational mechanics, likely graduate students and researchers. The focus on integral transformations indicates a rigorous, theoretical approach to problem-solving within BEM.
