!To Do:
1) Theoretical Background. Define:
Phase Space/Sympletic Manifold (w/ Example)
3) Examples:
Free Particle On Line - simple, done in text (pg.70)
Particle on Line: Constant Force
Particle on Line: Linear Spring Force - done in text (pg.70)
Simple pendulum
4) Hamiltonian Flow as level sets of H
