This monograph (the first of two volumes) deals with non scalar variational problems arising in geometry, as harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds and minimal graphs, and in physics, as stable equilibrium configurations in nonlinear elasticity or for liquid crystals. The presentation is self-contained and designed to be accessible to non-specialists. Topics are treated as far as possible in an elementary way, illustrating results with simple examples; in principle, chapters and even sections are readable independently of the general context, so that parts can be easily used for graduate courses. Open questions are often mentioned and the final section of each chapter discusses references to the literature and sometimes supplementary results.

"Bei dieser Monographie handelt es sich um einen Bericht von der vordersten Forschungsfront, der gleichzeitig jedem an dieser Art von Problemen interessierten Mathematiker zuganglich ist. Das ist ein seltener Glucksfall, fur den man den Autoren gar nicht genug danken kann. Wer sich durch den schieren Umfang der beiden Bande nicht abschrecken lasst, wird diese, einmal zur Hand genommen, nicht so schnell wieder ins Regal zuruckstellen wollen.
