I can find method of general solution of Laplace's equation in 3 D (in case cartesian, cylinder, and spherical coordinates)

From any book or any where ?

Google is your friend.
 
Where did you look thus far ? Here too ?
 
Are you talking about numerical solution?
 
A good book is Morse and Feshbach, methods of theoretical physics. There is a 150 page chapter on the Laplace and Poisson equation in part II.
For some quick analytical solutions, you can always go to Polyanin's website:

Thank you all
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
