Alan Weinstein

Alan David Weinstein (born 17 June 1943) is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, working in the field of differential geometry, and especially in Poisson geometry.

See Theodore James Courant and Alan Weinstein

Classical mechanics

Classical mechanics is a physical theory describing the motion of objects such as projectiles, parts of machinery, spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies.

See Theodore James Courant and Classical mechanics

Courant algebroid

In a field of mathematics known as differential geometry, a Courant geometry was originally introduced by Zhang-Ju Liu, Alan Weinstein and Ping Xu in their investigation of doubles of Lie bialgebroids in 1997.

See Theodore James Courant and Courant algebroid

Courant bracket

In a field of mathematics known as differential geometry, the Courant bracket is a generalization of the Lie bracket from an operation on the tangent bundle to an operation on the direct sum of the tangent bundle and the vector bundle of ''p''-forms.

See Theodore James Courant and Courant bracket

Differential geometry

Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that studies the geometry of smooth shapes and smooth spaces, otherwise known as smooth manifolds.

See Theodore James Courant and Differential geometry

Dirac bracket

The Dirac bracket is a generalization of the Poisson bracket developed by Paul Dirac to treat classical systems with second class constraints in Hamiltonian mechanics, and to thus allow them to undergo canonical quantization.

See Theodore James Courant and Dirac bracket

PDF

Portable Document Format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

See Theodore James Courant and PDF

Poisson manifold

In differential geometry, a field in mathematics, a Poisson manifold is a smooth manifold endowed with a Poisson structure.

See Theodore James Courant and Poisson manifold

Reed College

Reed College is a private liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon, United States.

See Theodore James Courant and Reed College

Richard Courant

Richard Courant (January 8, 1888 – January 27, 1972) was a German-American mathematician.

See Theodore James Courant and Richard Courant

Symplectic manifold

In differential geometry, a subject of mathematics, a symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold, M, equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential 2-form \omega, called the symplectic form.
