Foreword 1. About This Book

En effet, Barbaresco m’a dit qu’il était curieux de voir le texte qui a été publié d’après un cours sur la géométrie symplectique que j’ai donné à Tianjin, il y a bien longtemps. Je n’ai rien pu lui procurer d’autre que le petit fascicule rédigé en chinois par un assistant de Nankai. Je ne sais pas ce qu’il vaut. De toutes façons, il n’y avait pas beaucoup de choses originales dans ce que j’ai raconté. Indeed, Barbaresco told me that he was curious to see the text that was published according to a course on symplectic geometry that I gave in Tianjin, long time ago. I could not give anything else but the little notebook written in Chinese by a Nankai assistant. I do not know whether it was worthful. In any case, there were no too many original things in what I was speaking about. J.-L. Koszul, 02/02/2017. Above is an e
