This book is an introduction to the theory of integrable systems. The six sets of lectures review the foundations of classical finite and infinite-dimensional integrable systems, introduce quantum groups and survey recent developments. They were written by specialists for students and researchers. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Jean-Louis Verdier.
