Introduction to classical integrable systems / Olivier Babelon, Denis Bernard, Michel Talon.

A clear and pedagogical introduction to classical integrable systems and their applications. It synthesises the different approaches to the subject, providing a set of interconnected methods for solving problems in mathematical physics. Each method is introduced and explained, before being applied t...
