Laplace's equation
Laplace's equation is a partial differential equation named after its discoverer Pierre-Simon Laplace.
Laplace's equation for a scalar variable in a 3D space can be written as
- ∇2 φ = 0
where the operator ∇ stands for (∂/∂x i + ∂/∂y j + ∂/∂z k)
Solutions of Laplace's equation are important in many fields of science, notably the fields of electromagnetism and astronomy.
