In the first section of Kneser's book on Integral Equations and their Applications to Mathematical Physics, he applies that theory to the solution of some of the problems which arise in the Linear Flow of Heat. The object of this paper is to illustrate Kneser's use of Integral Equations in the Mathematical Theory of the Conduction of Heat by the discussion of one of the classical problems of Linear Flow which he leaves untouched.

6 The Green's Functions employed in the applications of Integral Equations to the Conduction of Heat must not be confused with those to which the same term was applied in the case of Instantaneous Point Sources. As a matter of fact, the new Green's Functions can be obtained from the old by integration : and the results given in my paper in these Proceedings [Vol. XXI., p. 40, 1903], and in Fourier's Series, Chapter XVIII., can be used in the work on Integral Equations.
