Question 1

Prove that if u(x,y) is a solution of Laplace’s Equation in a region, then the average value of u over any circle in that region is equal to the value of u at the center of the circle.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of averaging values.

Question 2

Analyze the behavior of a given boundary value problem for Laplace’s Equation in a rectangular domain: Given u(x,0) = f(x) and u(0,y) = g(y), find a method to determine solutions.

💡 Hint: Focus on breaking the problem into solvable parts.
