description: Presents 15 surveys of various subjects related to the integrabilty area pioneered by Sophie Kowalevski. Among the topics are Jacobians of singularized spectral curves and completely integrable systems, the monodromy deformation approach to the scaling limit of the Painleve first equation, quantum discrete soliton equations, and generalizations of the Scharzian derivative. Two of the papers sketch Kowalevski's life and contributions to mathematics. A reprint of Kowalevski's 1889 paper in the original French rounds out the book. No index. Annotation c.
