Description and Table of Contents
Description
* The invited papers in this volume are written in honor of Alan Weinstein, one of the world's foremost geometers
* Contributions cover a broad range of topics in symplectic and differential geometry, Lie theory, mechanics, and related fields
* Intended for graduate students and working mathematicians, this text is a distillation of prominent research and an indication of future trends in geometry, mechanics, and mathematical physics
