Laboratory Protocols in Applied Life Sciences
As utilized lifestyles technology progresses, changing into absolutely built-in into the organic, chemical, and engineering sciences, there's a starting to be want for increasing lifestyles sciences examine ideas. watching for the calls for of assorted existence technological know-how disciplines, Laboratory Protocols in utilized lifestyles Sciences explores this improvement.
Ausgehend von der Mittelwerteigenschaft harmonischer Funktionen über die Perronsche Methode zur Lösung des Dirichletproblems für die Laplace-Gleichung sowie den Kelloggschen Satz über das Randverhalten von Lösungen der Poisson-Gleichung stellen die Autoren stufenweise die klassische Theorie linearer elliptischer Differentialgleichungen 2.
