As part of our Mathematical Methods project, we have developed a tutorial on the Legendre Polynomials.

Legendre Polynomials contains five sections:

• Introduction
• Laplace's Equation in Spherical Coordinates
• Legendre Functions
• Summary of Properties
• The Spherical Shell Problem

An online demonstration of the section on Laplace's Equation is available.

A paper describing the Legendre Polynomials project is available.
