Abstract
In 1812 D. Poisson discovered that for many applied problems the Laplace equation is only valid outside the relevant domain G. In the journal Bulletin de la Societé Philosphique he published one year later the first paper on an equation of the type \(-\Delta u\;=\;f \quad \mathrm{in} \;G\;\subset\;I\!\!R^n ,\) which now bears his name.
