Symmetry in Mechanics

More about the book

Targeted at modern undergraduate students, this book emphasizes a supportive learning approach, blending mathematics with engaging narratives and historical context. It focuses on the basics of symplectic geometry through the lens of the two-body problem, illustrating the derivation of Kepler's laws from Newton's principles. By incorporating detailed examples and accessible explanations, the author aims to foster a deeper appreciation for mathematics among students who seek motivation and context in their studies, rather than merely efficient presentations.
