What are some good books to learn symplectic geometry with?

Anonymous July 10, 2022 (Sun) 14:54:27 No. 233

Have you had a look at Abraham and Marsden? Alternatively, Berndt?

could symplectic geometry replace a classical mechanics course?

No. You would lack almost all physical understanding of what is happening. It would likely seem very poorly motivated too, if you didn't know where the idea of a symplectic manifold came from and why. I'm sure some people do study symplectic geometry without studying classical mechanics, but it seems pointless to me. And to actually replace a course on classical mechanics (the implication being that this is someone studying physics), I think would be a bad idea.
