Poisson equation. Stokes equation. Exanple: stokes drag on a sphere. Poisson equation in 3-D. Green's function (infinite domain). Example of Green's functions applications: Stokes Flow. Stokes flow equations. Justification. Stokes flow produced by a point force. Flows produced by higher order singularities (force dipoles, etc). Flow around a sphere held fixed in a flow constant far away from the sphere. Stokes drag. Discussion of the problems caused by the slow decay of these
