In the reviewer's opinion, the book is highly recommended to both undergraduate and graduate students in Science and Engineering, to applied scientists and engineers and to those teaching college courses oriented toward applications. In praticular, the relationship between integral equation and a variety of applied problems, which is profusely illustrated in the book, makes it attractive for many readers. (Zentralblatt Math, Volume 938, No 13, 2000)

"This textbook is suitable for a good first course in integral equations at the undergraduate level for students with no background in complex variable theory." (Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2001j)
