Features: Many different mathematical methods and concepts are used in classical mechanics: differential equations and phase flows, smooth mappings and manifolds, Lie groups and Lie algebras, symplectic geometry and ergodic theory. Many modern mathematical theories arose from problems in mechanics and only later acquired an axiomatic-abstract form which makes them so hard to study.
