A square plate 0≤x≤π0 \le x \le \pi, 0≤y≤π0 \le y \le \pi is in steady state, so its temperature solves Laplace's equation uxx+uyy=0u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0. The bottom edge is held at u(x,0)=sin⁡xu(x, 0) = \sin x, the left edge at u(0,y)=sin⁡yu(0, y) = \sin y, and the other two edges at 00. Find the temperature at the centre, u ⁣(π2,π2)u\!\left(\dfrac\pi2, \dfrac\pi2\right).
