Hi everyone,
I have been trying to solve both laplace and poisson equation using method of separation of variable but is giving me a hard time.
Pls can anyone refer me to any textbook that solve this problem in great detail?

Thanks

Morse and Feshbach solve these problems in all separable coordinate systems in their books Methods of Theoretical Physics.
 
Hi Marcus,
Thank you for your response to my request.
I will go and find the book.
I quite appreciate it.
