For each canonical coordinate and momentum, Hamilton's equations areThey use canonical rather than arbitrary mechanical momenta, a distinction important in a magnetic field. The bracket convention printed in the source is consistent with F˙=[F,H] for a function with no explicit time dependence.
q˙i=∂pi∂H,p˙i=−∂qi∂H.
