Fifty Years of KdV: An Integrable System

Abstract

The author discusses integrability of Hamiltonian dynamical systems in the aftermath of KdV. The author also discusses the role of integrable systems in certain numerical computations, particularly the computation of the eigenvalues of a random symmetric matrix.
