Introduction to Symplectic Topology

Symplectic structures underlie the equations of classical mechanics and their properties are reflected in the behavior of a wide range of physical systems. Over the last few years powerful new methods in analysis and topology have led to the development of the modern global theory of symplectic topology, including several striking and important results. At its publication in 1995, Introduction to Symplectic Topology was the first comprehensive introduction to the subject and it has since beco…
