It contains guided problems, called homework, designed to complement the exposition or extend the reader's understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are by now excellent references on symplectic geometry, a subset of which is in the bibliography of this book. However, the most efficient introduction to a subject is often a short elementary treatment, and these notes attempt to serve that purpose. This text provides a taste of areas of current research and will prepare the reader to explore recent papers and extensive books on symplectic geometry where the pace is much faster.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor this reprint numerous corrections and clarifications have been made, and the layout has been improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9.34 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 17, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704859619635,"sku":"9783540421955","price":112.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MGVtSFJva09GTFdYK0xKL1FLZWZzUT09.webp?v=1763366292","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/lectures-on-symplectic-geometry-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
