What symplectic geometry has to do with physics.
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Andy Port, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, May 25 2010, 12:10PM |
I'll follow the evolution of classical mechanics from Newton to Lagrange to Hamilton (and his alternate personality Symplecto). The talk will be aimed at those with a basic knowledge of differential forms, but little to no knowledge of physics.
