The book "Boundary Integral Equations in Elasticity Theory" by A. M. Linkov provides a comprehensive introduction to complex variable boundary integral equations (CV-BIE) and their application in elasticity theory. It represents a modern continuation of the classical monograph by N. I. Muskhelishvili and is specifically tailored to the needs of the computer age. The English edition has been revised to address the growing interest in numerical simulations of media with internal structure. The author has adjusted the content to include more examples and a simplified presentation of the theory of real variable potentials. This enables readers to better understand the connections between real and complex variable boundary integral equations. The book is aimed at students and professionals working with boundary methods and offers valuable insights into the application of these methods to problems such as cracks, inclusions, and cavities.
