This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop held at the Fields Institute in June 1992 both as a commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the publication of Foundations of Mechanics by Ralph Abraham and Jerrold Marsden and as a celebration of Marsden's 50th birthday. The papers collected in this volume reflect the ties - with areas of applied science, including control theory. This should be of value to graduate students, research mathematicians and engineers interested in mechanics of particles and systems.
