Modern Approach to Classical Integrable Systems

Record: Yes

Level: Graduate

Language: English

Prerequisite:

The course is designed for an audience that has previously attended general course of classical or analytical mechanics and courses of higher mathematics: mathematical analysis and differential equations theory.

Introduction:

For many years, classical mechanics has been the driver of the development of various areas of mathematics. Currently, various applications such as robotics, cryptography, cryptocurrency, computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning are actively influencing the development of algebraic geometry, differential geometry, Riemannian geometry, number theory, etc. The new tools obtained, or new computer implementations of the known tools, allow not only a new look at the classical integrable systems of the 18th-19th century, but also get a number of previously unknown results.

The goal of this course is to give students an overview of modern concepts and results in classical mechanics.
