Opis

Introduces Hamiltonian dynamics from the very beginning, culminating in the most important recent results: Kolmogorov's and Nekhoroshev's.

Recenzje

'The author provides a treatment that is accessible to newcomers, complete, and attentive to the complexities of the subject's historical development. One of the appeals of the book is the way it mixes the technical details of formal statements and proofs with numerical experiments and historical digression … The book covers a great deal of material, but it does so gracefully and thoroughly.' Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews
