Abstract
An infinite sum of integrals is performed to give the Atiyah-Ward two-monopole solution explicitly in terms of roots of a certain quartic polynomial. The Higgs fields of the two-monopole solution are given in the plane and on the coordinate axes. In addition, this solution is compared with the partial solution found in the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin construction of Nahm and found to be identical up to a scale transformation.
