Albert Einstein, who by the way took an active part to the foundation of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, changed dramatically our understanding of relations between motions, space, time and matter. This course will adopt a modern approach to relativity thanks to the special role of the symplectic structure existing on the space of motions in mechanics.http://www.huji.ac.il/huji/eng/aboutHU_history_e.htmshapeimage_4_link_0
