Integral Methods in Science and Engineering

Christian Constanda is the holder of the Charles W. Oliphant Endowed Chair of Mathematics and the Director of the Center for Boundary Integral Methods at the University of Tulsa, an Emeritus Professor at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK, and the Chairman of the International Consortium on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering. He has authored and edited 34 books and published over 150 articles in scientific journals and conference proceedings. Paul J. Harris is Reader in Applied Mathematics at the University of Brighton. He has worked on using numerical methods to solve problems in applied mathematics for over 30 years. The problems he has worked on include computational acoustics and explosion bubble dynamics. More recently Dr Harris has concentrated using mathematics to solve biomedical problems including modelling the formation of cavities in the spinal cord and how cells move in response to chemical signal. Bardo E.J. Bodmann is a Professor at the Engineering School of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil and an active memeber of the Integral Methods in Science and Engineering Consortium. Along his career he (co-)authored over a hundred articles in international scientific journals, several tenth book chapters and a few books. His current research interests focus on mathematical methods to solve classical as well as quantum transport problems. In the context of the latest developments works contemplate also physical Monte Carlo simulatations using parametrisations for multi-dimensional probability density functions and spectral distributions.
