  Abstract:  Hamiltonian formalism lies at the very heart of quantum mechanics. In the recent decades, Hamiltonian mechanics “happily married” differential geometry, giving birth to one of the most beautiful parts of geometry, symplectic geometry. This kind of geometry was quite successfully applied to quantum mechanics in the so-called geometric quantization approach. Several monographs on geometric quantization are available by now, but the focus mainly on the geometrical formalism without doing justice to quantum mechanics. It is the aim of this book to correct this deficiency.
