The document discusses different types of integral equations. It defines integral equations as equations where an unknown function appears under one or more integral signs. It classifies integral equations as Fredholm equations of the first and second type, and Volterra equations of the first and second type based on whether the limits of integration are fixed or one limit is not fixed, and whether the unknown function is only inside or also outside the integral. It provides examples of some common integral functions that arise in solving integral equations.
