Starting from the famous Liouville theorem and finite- dimensional integrable models, the basic aspects of integrability will be studied in- cluding elements of the modern classical and quantum soliton theory, the Riemann- Hilbert factorization problem and the Bethe ansatz. Delivered at Utrecht University, 20 September 2006- 24 January 2007
