Abstract :
A moment method technique for solving Laplace´s equation is presented. The technique is then extended to Poisson´s equation to include space charge. The procedure is implemented on a PC and applied to the cases of an electrostatic quadrupole lens and an ellipsoidal bunch in a grounded pipe
