Geometry from Dynamics, Classical and Quantum

Geometry from Dynamics, Classical and Quantum /

This book describes, by using elementary techniques, how some geometrical structures widely used today in many areas of physics, like symplectic, Poisson, Lagrangian, Hermitian, etc., emerge from dynamics. It is assumed that what can be accessed in actual experiences when studying a given system is...
