Undoubtedly the book will be for years the standard reference on symplectic geometry, analytical mechanics and symplectic methods in mathematical physics. -Zentralblatt für Mathematik For many years, this book has been viewed as a classic treatment of geometric mechanics. It is known for its broad exposition of the subject, with many features that cannot be found elsewhere. The book is recommended as a textbook and as a basic reference work for the foundations of differentiable and Hamiltonian dynamics.
