Phase Spaces of Mechanical Systems are Symplectic Manifolds,s motion at all future times. So we can think of the phase space as made up of position-momentum pairs. (Some authors use the phrase “state space” synony-mously with “phase space.”) Note that the . is something different: it is the set of possible positions.

The Two-Body Problem,o massive particles (such as the sun and Mars), assuming that all forces other than mutual gravitational attraction are negligible. We want to find explicit formulas allowing us to predict motions. Will Mars crash into the sun? Will comet Hale-Bopp return? If so, when? Our formulas will be of use to

Total Energy Functions are Hamiltonian Functions, moves in time. For any given physical system, each known conserved quantity provides an equation that can be very useful in the analysis of the system. For instance, conservation of energy for a ball of mass . thrown straight up into the air yields the equation ., where E is the constant value of t

Conserved Quantities are Momentum Maps,tum and energy is evident from their acceptance into everyday speech. Equations expressing conservation abound in elementary physics courses because they allow one to make informative calculations without using the techniques of calculus.

The Two-Body Problem, engineers, who may want to maneuver satellites or send a space probe that is “parked,” i.e., orbiting a planet, off to orbit a different planet. During this chapter we will pretend to be physicists. We will make savvy use of conserved quantities and particular functional forms to pick coordinates that simplify our calculations.
