Abstract: We give an expository account of a Weierstrass type representation of the non-zero constant mean curvature surfaces in space and discuss the meaning of the representation from the point of view of partial differential equations.

Keywords: constant mean curvature surfaces, nonlinear partial differential equation, dressing action, Weierstrass type representation
