First sentence: As participants in the MASIE-project, we attended the summer school Mechanics and Symmetry in Peyresq, France, during the first two weeks of September 2000.
Description: These lectures are intended to bring young researchers to the current frontier of knowledge in geometrical mechanics and dynamical systems. They cover a range of topics from the basic concepts of symplectic and Poisson geometry, through integrable systems, KAM theory, fluid dynamics, and symetric bifurcation theory.
