An integral equation of the first kind with a weak singularity in the kernel \[ (1)\quad \int_{\Gamma}u(x)R^{-1}(x,y)d\Gamma_ x=f(y) \] is considered. The goal of the paper is an investigation of conditions of existence, uniqueness and convergence of approximate solutions of equation (1) obtained by the Galerkin method and the collocation method in case of an approximation of the unknown density function by systems of piecewise constant functions.
