Integrable systems are nonlinear differential equations which, in principle, can be solved analytically. This means that the solution can be reduced to a finite number of algebraic operations and integrations. Such systems are very rare - most nonlinear differential equations admit chaotic behavior and no explicit solutions can be written down. Integrable systems nevertheless lead to a very interesting mathematics ranging from differential geometry and complex analysis to quantum field theory and fluid dynamics. The main topics treated in the course, and the expected skill obtained by the students, are:
