Description and Table of Contents
Description
* Winner of the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize in 2000.
* Reviews the necessary prerequisites, beginning with an introduction to Lie symmetries on Poisson and symplectic manifolds.
* Currently in classroom use in Europe.
* Can serve as a resource for graduate courses and seminars in Hamiltonian mechanics and symmetry, symplectic and Poisson geometry, Lie theory, mathematical physics, and as a comprehensive reference resource for researchers.
