This memoir gives an introduction to Hamiltonian dynamical systems on symplectic manifolds, including definitions of Hamiltonian vector fields, Poisson brackets, integrals of motion, complete integrability, and ergodicity. A particularly complete treatment of action-angle coordinates is given. Historical background into the question of ergodicity and integrability in Hamiltonian systems is also given.
