The revised edition of this advanced text provides the reader with a solid grounding in the formalism of classical mechanics, underlying a number of powerful mathematical methods that are widely used in modern theoretical and mathematical physics. It reviews the fundamentals of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, and goes on to cover related topics such as canonical transformations, integral invariants, potential motion in geometric setting,...

Formalism of classical mechanics underlies a number of powerful mathematical methods that are widely used in theoretical and mathematical physics. This book considers the basics facts of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, as well as related topics, such as canonical transformations, integral invariants, potential motion in geometric setting, symmetries, the Noether theorem and systems with constraints. While in some cases the formalism is d...

We construct non-relativistic and relativistic non-Grassmann spinning particles on the ground of oldest idea about spin as "intrinsic angular momentum". Spin degrees of freedom live on a fiber bundle with a base parameterized by the inner angular-momentum coordinates. In the relativistic case, configuration space of the spin degrees of freedom is anti-de Sitter space. This produces both gamma-matrices in the course of quantization. Canonical q...
