This textbook explores differential geometrical aspects of the theory
of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems. It provides a
comprehensive introduction to the mathematical foundations and
illustrates it with a thorough analysis of classical examples. This
book is organized into two parts. Part I contains a detailed,
elementary exposition of the topics needed to start a serious
geometrical analysis of complete integrability. This includes a
background in symplectic and Poisson geometry, the study of
Hamiltonian systems with symmetry, a primer on the theory of
completely integrable systems, and a presentation of bi-Hamiltonian
geometry. Part II is devoted to the analysis of three classical
examples of integrable systems. This includes the description of the
(free) n-dimensional rigid-body, the rational Calogero-Moser system,
and the open Toda system. In each case, ths system is described, its
integrability is discussed, and at least one of its (known)
bi-Hamiltonian descriptions is presented. This work can benefit
advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students with a strong
interest in geometrical methods of mathematical physics. Prerequisites
include an introductory course in differential geometry and some
familiarity with Hamiltonian and Lagrangian mechanics.
