The article seems like a decent introduction to the Poisson-equation. But the original title was very misleading.

Because the Poisson-equation isn't some super-useful tool so much as a Day-1 topic discussed in intro-level classes. It's a really simple equation compared to others used in Engineering, Math, and Physics, so it's often introduced as a starting point.
