In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the basic concepts in symplectic topology. I will start by outlining the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and showing how symplectic structures naturally arise in this context. I will then discuss and give examples of Hamiltonian flows, symplectomorphisms and moment maps. Speaker(s): Karen Butt (University of Michigan)
