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.
