Hi, I moved the advanced mathematical description to the end because it falls outside the stated scope of the article, and since there already is a symplectomorphism article. I also reverted the superscripts on the generalized coordinates because I'm afraid that many beginning students won't appreciate their significance and might confuse them with potentiation of a coordinate. For example, how will we represent the third coordinate raised to the 2nd power, maybe \left[q^{(3)}\right]^{2}? That seems too complicated for beginners, don't you agree?
