This course is a basic course offered to PG students of Engineering/Science background. It contains Fredholm and Volterra integral equations and their solutions using various methods such as Neumann series, resolvent kernels, Green’s function approach and transform methods. It also contains extrema of functional, the Brachistochrone problem, Euler’s equation, variational derivative and invariance of Euler’s equations. It plays an important role for solving various engineering sciences problems. Therefore, it has tremendous applications in diverse fields in engineering sciences.
