Method of moments

° a known charge causes a potential ° what is the potential?° a measured or known potential is caused by an

unknown charge° what was that charge?° used in em to find current distributions on antennas,

scattering objects such as cubes, sleds, planes, and missles

Academic Kiuas-Seura is a sauna and sausage society, formed mainly by older members of Liisankadun Osakunnat, whose main task is taking sauna baths, sloping of time together and sensory testing of the sausages. The assembling is 6:30 on Tuesdays, the sausage tests continue in spite of the environmental terrorists.
