The book offers a remarkable combination of characteristics that are both exceptional and seemingly contradictory. It is designed to be entirely self-contained, starting from the basics and building a strong foundation in geometric and algebraic tools. Simultaneously, topics are infused with mathematical elegance and profundity, employing contemporary language and techniques. From a physicist's perspective, the content delves deeply into the physical aspects, emphasizing the underlying principles. This book bridges the gap between students and cutting-edge research, with a special focus on symplectic geometry, integrability, and recent developments in the field. It is designed to engage and captivate the reader. A conscious selection of topics ensures a more relevant and contemporary approach compared to traditional textbooks. The book addresses common misconceptions, offering clarity and precision. In its quest for brevity, this book is tailored for a one-semester course, offering a comprehensive and concise resource. The author's dedication is evident throughout this volume, encapsulating these goals within roughly 300 pages.UNITEXT for Physics,2198-7890Mathematical physicsTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational PhysicsMathematical PhysicsMathematical physics.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.Mathematical Physics.531Cecotti Sergio1431735MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910890188003321Analytical Mechanics4264215UNINA
