Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In mathematics and classical mechanics, canonical coordinates are particular sets of coordinates on the phase space, or equivalently, on the cotangent manifold of a manifold. Canonical coordinates arise naturally in physics in the study of Hamiltonian mechanics. As Hamiltonian mechanics is generalized by symplectic geometry and canonical transformations are generalized by contact transformations, so the 19th century definition of canonical coordinates in classical mechanics may be generalized to a more abstract 20th century definition in terms of cotangent bundles. This article defines the canonical coordinates as they appear in classical mechanics. A closely related concept also appears in quantum mechanics; see the Stone-von Neumann theorem and canonical commutation relations for details.
