Geometric mechanics borders pure and applied mathematics and incorporates such disciplines as differential geometry, Hamiltonian mechanics and integrable systems. The source of this collection is the summer school on Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry organized by James Montaldi and Tudor Ratiu. Written with significant input from the participants at the conference, these lecture notes are geared towards fulfilling the needs of graduate students through their attention to detail.
Read more- Deriving from six short lecture courses that were given by leading academics, this book brings young researchers to the current frontier of knowledge in Geometric Mechanics
- Overview of Geometric Mechanics from several authors who are well-known in their field of expertise
- Many topics are covered - from the basic concepts of symplectic and Poisson geometry, through integrable systems, KAM theory, fluid dynamics and symmetric bifurcation theory
