Course Syllabus

Abstract

The course is centered on the notion of symplectic structure, contact structure, legendrian and contact manifolds. In each direction we start from the very basic definition. Course is optional. Pre-requisites: Introductory courses on differential manifolds and ordinary differential equations.
