First sentence: At present, there are three different Hamiltonian approaches to classical field theory: the standard Hamiltonian machinery in fashion of the instantaneous Hamiltonian formalism, the De Donder Hamiltonian formalism in the framework of the calculus of variations, the multimomentum Hamiltonian formalism which is the polysymplectic generalization of the conventional Hamiltonian formalism in mechanics to fibred manifolds over an n-dimensional parameter space X, not only R
