Okay there is a particular equation in my book, which I just can't seem to understand intuitively. I've been staring at it for an hour now without progress, so I hope some of you can explain it.
Basically it's the one on the attached picture.
Let me introduce the notation so you can help me:
\varsigma is a vector with the new set of canonical coordinates (Q1,...Qn,P1,...,Pn) which are viewed as function of the old coordinates \eta = (q1,..,qn,p1,...,pn). The matrix poisson bracket [\varsigma,\varsigma]\eta then comprise the matrix with the following poisson brackets as elements [\varsigmal,\varsigmak]\eta.
It should then be intuitive that this can be written as MJMT. Where M is the jacobian matrix with elements Mij = \partial\varsigmai/\partial\etaj
How do I realize that?
