<p>âThe book is self-contained. ⊠This comes out in the superb presentation of the material, with plenty of examples that illustrate the concepts and the methods surveyed throughout the text. ⊠The book âcan be used both as a textbook for courses at the graduate level and as a reference book for researchers who need these techniques in dealing with the analysis of stability of equilibria in problems of classical mechanicsâ.â (Juan R. Pacha, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2024)</p>
<p>âHamiltonian systems, their stability and their normal forms are the main topics of this book. These are presented in an historical context that gives the reader a good sense of their development over time while identifying the major contributors to the theory. Authorsâ preface does a particularly good job here â identifying the origins and motivations of the ideas and describing how all the various parts â concepts, methods and tools â fit together.â (William J. Satzer Jr., zbMATH 1533.37001, 2024)</p>
