Description

Systems governed by non-linear differential equations are of fundamental importance in all branches of science, but our understanding of them is still extremely limited. In this book a particular system, describing the interaction of magnetic monopoles, is investigated in detail. The use of new geometrical methods produces a reasonably clear pictur

Reviews

"[This book] should be read by any mathematician who wants to see something of the exciting connections between geometry and the nonlinear systems of mathematical physics."--Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
