Editing Phase space

Phase space is the means by which the mechanical problem is converted in to geometry.
'''Phase space''', or <math>\Gamma</math>-space, is a Euclidean space in <math>2s</math> dimensions 
(''i.e.'' <math>E^{2s}</math>), where <math>s</math>
is the number of degrees of freedom.
Thus our description of our system in terms of positions and velocities
now becomes a point in phase space. Changes in our system now trace out a trajectory
in phase space.
