First sentence: The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for a function u = u(x, t) with its origins in fluid dynamics has a long and interesting history, but this chapter focuses on a relatively recent development since the mid-1970s, the construction of algebro-geometric solutions of the KdV hierarchy.
