• Provides a self-contained and accessible introduction to integrable systems
• Includes the three appendices covering basic differential geometry, complex manifold theory, and the exterior differential system

New to this Edition:

• contains a new chapter on Abelian vortices, with the emphasis on the integrable cases
• includes a derivation of the master dispersionless integrable system underling the general anti-self-dual conformal structures in four dimensions, as well as a discussion of the non-relativistic limit of twistor theory
• new examples have been added and errors have been corrected
