Tata lectures on Theta Volume 2 : Jacobian Theta Functions and Differential Equations Volume 2 :

The second in a series of three volumes surveying the theory of theta functions, this volume gives emphasis to the special properties of the theta functions associated with compact Riemann surfaces and how they lead to solutions of the Korteweg-de-Vries equations as well as other non-linear differen...
