报告简介：

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 behaviour 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. This mini-course will provide an introduction to the subject with the emphasis on the twistor and geometric approach.
