This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and
understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate
system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action
coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the
action-angle variables in general potentials are presented and
discussed. These new tools are applied to the construction of
dynamical models for two of the Galaxy's components: tidal streams
and the Galactic disc. Tidal streams are remnants of tidally
stripped satellites in the Milky Way that experience the effects of
the large scale structure of the Galactic gravitational potential,
while the Galactic disc provides insights into the nature of the
Galaxy near the Sun. Appropriate action-based models are presented
and discussed for these components, and extended to include further
information such as the metallicity of stars.
