## Abstract

In this paper we construct a solution of the two-dimensional problem of the elasticity theory (plane deformation) on pressing of the flat stamp in the rectangular plate by using the symbolic method and the exact solution of the harmonic equation for a rectangle. The substitution of symbolic functions that satisfy the harmonic equation, with relevant solutions of harmonic functions allows obtaining the exact solution of the problem.
