Symplectic Geometry

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences ((EMS,volume 4))

Abstract

Symplectic geometry is the mathematical apparatus of such areas of physics as classical mechanics, geometrical optics and thermodynamics. Whenever the equations of a theory can be gotten out of a variational principle, symplectic geometry clears up and systematizes the relations between the quantities entering into the theory. Symplectic geometry simplifies and makes perceptible the frightening formal apparatus of Hamiltonian dynamics and the calculus of variations in the same way that the ordinary geometry of linear spaces reduces cumbersome coordinate computations to a small number of simple basic principles.
