Excerpt from A Treatise on Analytical Statics, Vol. 2: With Numerous Examples
Any function of two independent angular coordinates (such as the direction angles 0, <1; of the radius vector) which satisfies equation (7) is called a Laplace's function. Thus Y is a Laplace's function of the order n. The corresponding function a when expressed in terms of (at, y, z) satisfies Laplace's equation and is a spherical harmonic, Art. 161. A Laplace's function when expressed as a function of the Cartesian coordinates of the point at which the radius vector intersects some given sphere with its centre at the origin is called a spherical surface harmonic.
