Description
Symplectic linear algebra has had profound connections in many areas of math and physics. Despite this, the subject remains outside the scope of standard linear algebra education. In this talk, I propose motivating the subject via the study of complex coordinate space as the canonical symplectic vector space and argue its approachability for an undergraduate audience. I argue this by highlighting notable theorems and sketching out a hypothetical curriculum.
