Evgenii A. Volkov is a professor at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow, Russia.

• This book presents a new, efficient numerical-analytical method for solving the Laplace equation on an arbitrary polygon. This method, called the approximate block method, overcomes indicated difficulties and has qualitatively more rapid convergence than well-known difference and variational-difference methods.
