Singular boundary method

Okay, so imagine you are drawing a picture of a circle, but instead of drawing the whole thing at once, you draw it one dot at a time. Each dot is called a point.

Now think about the boundary of the circle - the place where the circle ends and the blank background begins. This is like the edge of the picture.

The singular boundary method is a way to figure out information about the circle by only looking at the points on the edge, or boundary. Instead of looking at every single point in the circle, we only focus on the ones that are on the edge.

By doing this, we can learn a lot about the circle without having to draw every single point in it. It's like being able to guess what the whole circle looks like just by looking at the edge.

This method is really helpful in different areas of math and science, like when you want to figure out the shape of something based on its outline. It's kind of like solving a puzzle - you only need a few important pieces to figure out what the whole picture looks like.
