Revue de presse

For the first time in an introductory text, the book includes a discussion of the path integral for classical mechanics which was pioneered by the first of its authors. This path integral establishes a close connection between many different fields like, for example, between Hamiltonian mechanics and the differential geometry of the phase-space manifold. It can also serve as a good pedagogical introduction to this last topic. --Dr Martin Reuter, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany

This short book provides a clear, pedagogical and insightful presentation of the subject. An interesting innovation in this book is that the authors provide a clear presentation of the path integral formulation of the Wigner functions, which are fundamental in the study of quantum statistical mechanics; and, for the first time in an elementary book, the work of Koopman and von Neumann on classical and statistical mechanics. It will be difficult to find a better and more compact introduction to this fundamental subject. --CERN Courier
