    Created as a celebration of mathematical pioneer Emma Previato, this comprehensive book highlights the connections between algebraic geometry and integrable systems, differential equations, mathematical physics, and many other areas. The authors, many of whom have been at the forefront of research into these topics for the last decades, have all been influenced by Previato's research, as her collaborators, students, or colleagues. The diverse articles in the book demonstrate the wide scope of Previato's work and the inclusion of several survey and introductory articles makes the text accessible to graduate students and non-experts, as well as researchers. The work is split into two volumes, with the first covering a wide range of areas related to integrable systems, and the second focusing on algebraic geometry and its applications.

    • Brings together experts from the vast areas of research of integrable systems and algebraic geometry
    • Contains a large collection of articles from different viewpoints and highlights the interconnections between different areas of mathematics
    • Makes the theory accessible and will be a valuable source for graduate students and non-experts
