Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"For the first time in the literature, this book presents a detailed account of the theory of reduction by stages of Hamiltonian systems with symmetries. ... It is therefore a useful tool in computing reduced spaces and the authors illustrate it with many physical examples. ... The necessary background in symplectic reduction and the numerous examples which are provided make this book interesting for people new to the field, as well as for specialists." (Oana M. Dragulete, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 i)
