Abstract
The principles of the boundary integral equation (BIE) or boundary element method (BEM) are discussed in a non-mathematical way. The technique is compared with other numerical methods, particularly the finite element method (FEM), on the basis of computational efficiency, and the main advantages and disadvantages of the BIE approach are outlined.Keywords
