Geometric mechanics is a branch of theoretical physics that combines concepts from classical mechanics with the mathematical tools of differential geometry. It provides a geometric framework for analyzing dynamical systems and their behavior, often focusing on the motion of objects and the underlying structures that govern these motions. Key aspects of geometric mechanics include: 1. **Phase Space**: In mechanical systems, the state of a system is described not just by its position but also by its momentum.
