Abstract
Hamiltonian Mechanics is a geometry on the phase space of a mechanical system. It enables us to study in detail some problems in mechanics which cannot be solved with another techniques and it also helps us to understand the general character of motion in more complicated mechanical systems such as ergodic theory, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics.
