Review

'... an accessible introduction to some of the fundamental connections beween differental geometry, Lie groups and integrable Hamiltonian systems.' L'Enseignement Mathématique

'It is very rare to find a book that can take a student from the very basics of a subject to the frontiers of active research. The author is to be congratulated on having produced just such a rarity!' Bulletin of the London Mathematics Society

'The book will certainly be appreciated by mathematicians as well as theoretical physics interested in the subject.' European Mathematical Society

Book Description

This book is an introduction to an important area of mathematics and mathematical physics. It is accessible to university students, but leads to topics of current research in the theory of harmonic maps. It is the first book on this subject at this level.
