Abstract
This chapter is a collection of examples designed to illustrate the various phenomena which occur in the application of differential systems to problems arising in differential geometry and, more generally, in partial differential equations. We have chosen these examples partly on the basis of their intrinsic interest but mainly in the hopes that the reader can use them as a guide to developing facility in computation.
