Symplectic Techniques in Physics Guillemin Victor W.Paperback
Symplectic geometry is very useful for formulating clearly and concisely problems in classical physics and also for understanding the link between classical problems and their quantum counterparts. This is the first book that attempts to reconcile these approaches. It is thus a subject of interest to both mathematicians and physicists, though they have approached the subject from different viewpoints.
Some of the themes emphasized in the book include the pivotal role of completely integrable systems, the importance of symmetries, analogies between classical dynamics and optics, the importance of symplectic tools in The authors use the uncluttered, coordinate-free approach to symplectic geometry and classical mechanics that has been developed by mathematicians over the course of the past thirty years, but at the same time apply the apparatus to a great number of concrete problems.
