-{{:​gtspring2009:​gt.png|}} ​ I am bit puzzled by the introduction. The chapter is called Newtonian dynamics, but then goes straight to Hamiltonian flows (time-independent only). Even in the time-independent case, if one allows non-conservative forces in Newton'​s equation, energy is not conserved. We either need to specify this in the introduction,​ or we may want to call the chapter '​Hamiltonian Dynamics'​. +
