<Sean Bates> coauthored <Lectures on the Geometry of Quantization by Sean Bates and Alan Weinstein> with <Alan Weinstein>. The manuscript's title page verifies the byline; its preface traces the notes to Weinstein's courses on <symplectic geometry> and <geometric quantization>.<Lectures on the Geometry of Quantization by Sean Bates and Alan Weinstein>[Title page and preface]{ref}
The lectures connect <Hamiltonian mechanics> on a <symplectic manifold> with unitary evolution on a <Hilbert space>. Their account of <half-densities> supplies an intrinsic way to define an inner product, avoiding dependence on a chosen coordinate volume element. The contribution is an exposition of the geometry linking the two mathematical descriptions of motion.<Lectures on the Geometry of Quantization by Sean Bates and Alan Weinstein>[Preface and Appendix A]{ref}
