Twistor Geometry and Field Theory

Zusammenfassung This study deals with the twistor treatment of linear and non-linear partial differential equations. The authors develop the mathematical background! go on to discuss Yang Mills fields and gravitational fields in classical language and finish by solving a number of field-theoretic problems.
