Description

Book Synopsis
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. From a different approach, this subject is of interest to both mathematicians and physicists.

Trade Review
"This book is brilliant and fascinating and is probably one of the most important additions in recent years to the mathematical physics literature." Contemporary Physics

Table of Contents
Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. The geometry of the moment map; 3. Motion in a Yang-Mills field and the principle of general covariance; 4. Complete integrability; 5. Contractions of symplectic homogeneous spaces; References; Index.
