Given a Fredhoim integral equation of the second kind, which is defined over a certain region ⊆ R2, we define and , two different numerical approximations to its solution, using the collocation and iterated collocation methods respectively. We describe without proof some known results concerning the general convergence properties of and when the kernel and solution of the integral equation are smooth. Then, we prove rigorously order of convergence estimates for and which are applicable in the practically siginificant case when is a rectangle, and the kernel of the integral equation is weakly singular. These estimates are illustrated by the numerical solution of a two dimensional weakly singular equation which arises in electrical engineering.
