The magnetostatics direct problem of calculating the resulting magnetic field strength from a homogeneous cylinder of finite dimensions placed in an external magnetic field of arbitrary configuration is considered. With the help of sufficiently voluminous analytical transformations using the basic properties of hypergeometric functions and Legendre functions, the solution of the basic three-dimensional magnetostatic equation for this configuration is reduced to solving of a certain number of systems of three one-dimensional linear integral equations. A simplified form of these systems for special cases of a constant external field and the resulting field on the cylinder axis is obtained.
