The paper is a brief and elementary introduction to the theory stated in the title, treated at large by the excellent monography of \textit{R. L. Bryant, S. S. Chern, R. B. Gardner, H. L. Goldschmidt} and \textit{P. A. Griffiths} [Exterior differential systems, Publ., Mathe. Sci. Res. Inst., 18. New York etc.: Springer-Verlag (1991; Zbl 0726.58002)]. Two sections of the paper under review are devoted to integral manifolds and Pfaffian systems, the last section is dealing with the Cartan-Kähler Theorem and E. Cartan's involutivity test. The content of the paper is classical, and a good choice of examples is made. A similar paper on the same subject, which in our oppinion can be used in parallel by a beginner reader is \textit{J. M. Landsberg}'s preprint \url{http://xxx.lanl.gov/e-print/dg-ga/9708005}. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0940.00006].
