Description: The papers in this volume are an outgrowth of some of the lectures and informal discussions that took place during the workshop on the geometry of Hamiltonian systems, held at the MSRI in Berkeley in June of 1989. The emphasis of all the talks was on Hamiltonian dynamics and its relationship to several aspects of symplectic geometry and topology, mechanics, numerical simulations and dynamical systems in general. The articles are of differing lengths and scopes; some are research announcements while others are surveys of particularly active areas of interest where the results can only be found in scattered research articles and preprints. In- cluded in the book is A.T. Fomenko's survey of the classification of integrable systems.
