In the present chapter we are concerned with systems, the change of which — with the exception of a single degree of freedom — should proceed slowly. (Compare the pertinent remarks about ε as slow parameter in Chap. 7.) Accordingly, the Hamiltonian reads:

Advanced Texts in Physics This program of advanced texts covers a broad spectrum of topics which are of current and emerging interest in physics. Each book provides a comprehensive and yet accessible introduction to a field at the forefront of modern research. As such, these texts are intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students at the MS and PhD level; however, research scientists seeking an introduction to particular areas of physics will also benefit from the titles in this collection.
