Presents an introduction to the modern group analysis. This work covers topics such as Lie-Backlund, conditional and non-classical symmetries, approximate symmetry groups for equations with a small parameter, group analysis of differential equations with distributions, integro-differential equations, recursions, and symbolic software packages.
