In response to a series of postings on MathGroup that derived from a simple conformal mapping question (http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2012/Nov/msg00004.htm, http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2012/Nov/msg00011.html, http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2012/Nov/msg00034.html ) Murray Eisenberg and I have produced a short didactic notebook showing a simple specific solution of the Laplace equation on a lens-shaped domain. The notebook and PDF have been posted at Peter Lindsay's site at the Mathematics Department of St Andrews University. http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~pl10/c/djmpark/ This was done primarily to review and better understand the steps in this process and also to illustrate how the complex graphics routines of the Presentations application make it relatively easy to produce high quality graphics directly in terms of complex functions and variables. Of course all of the graphics in the notebook could be made in regular Mathematica. It is simply a matter of what value one puts on one's time, whether one wants to think more about mathematics or about programming, and on whether one would, in fact, make the graphics.
