A system is said to be integrable if it has a regular or predictable behaviour. In nature, only a few examples are known (among them is the famous Kepler problem) but they are practically very important. Furthermore, numerous systems, although not integrable, are “close” to integrable systems. A good understanding of integrable systems is then a preliminary condition to the study of this latter category.
