Geometry, Mechanics, and Dynamics: Volume in Honor of the 60th Birthday of J. E. Marsden - Hardcover

by Paul Newton (Editor), Phil Holmes (Editor), Alan Weinstein (Editor)

The common thread running throughout this volume is the use of geometric methods that serve to unify diverse disciplines and bring together a variety of scientists and mathematicians, in a manner that encourages cross-fertilization. Professor J.E. Marsden is a unique figure in this regard as his work has significantly influenced three distinctly separate communities of mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.
