Informationen zum Autor Olivier Babelon has been a member of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) since 1978. He works at the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Hautes Energies (LPTHE) at the University of Paris VI-Paris VII. His main fields of interest are particle physics, gauge theories and integrables systems. Denis Bernard has been a member of the CNRS since 1988. He currently works at the Service de Physique Théorique de Saclay. His main fields of interest are conformal field theories and integrable systems, and other aspects of statistical field theories, including statistical turbulence. Michel Talon has been a member of the CNRS since 1977. He works at the LPTHE at the University of Paris VI-Paris VII. He is involved in the computation of radiative corrections and anomalies in gauge theories and integrable systems. Zusammenfassung A clear and pedagogical introduction to classical integrable systems and their applications. It synthesizes 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 to particular examples. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction; 2. Integrable dynamical systems; 3. Synopsis of integrable systems; 4.
