4.0 out of 5 stars THE book on classical potential theory, May 5, 1999
This review is from: Foundations of Potential Theory (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
There are few books left in print on this captivating subject from theoretical mechanics. Kellogg's presentation is clear and mathematically formal. This is an excellent reprint from Dover.

Now, if Dover would only bring back into print MacMillan's "The Theory of the Potential" and maybe try to reprint Sternberg & Smith's U. of Toronto Press published (and out of print) "The Theory of the Potential and Spherical Harmonics", they would have themselves a trilogy to corner the science book market for the classical treatment of potential theory.

Kellogg stands fairly well on its own, but the other two books just mentioned fill-in Kellogg's gaps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful mathematics, April 10, 2000
This review is from: Foundations of Potential Theory (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
A beautiful presentation which I much enjoyed in grad school. Now I need to return to the subject, but I can't find it in my lib. So I'm ordering another copy and looking forward to reading it again!
