Chapter 3: Separation of Variables Cylindrical Coordinates

• Example: Problem 3.23

• Solve Laplace's equation by separation of variables in cylindrical coordinates, assuming there is no dependence on z (cylindrical symmetry). Make sure that you find all solutions to the radial equation.
  

• Solution:

• We need to solve the following differential equation:
