This monograph draws on two traditions: the algebraic formulation
of quantum mechanics as well as quantum field theory, and the
geometric theory of classical mechanics. These are combined in a
unified treatment of the theory of Poisson algebras of observables
and pure state spaces with a transition probability, which leads on
to a discussion of the theory of quantization and the classical
limit from this perspective. A prototype of quantization comes from
the analogy between the C*- algebra of a Lie groupoid and the
Poisson algebra of the corresponding Lie algebroid. The parallel
between reduction of symplectic manifolds in classical mechanics
and induced representations of groups and C*- algebras in quantum
mechanics plays an equally important role. Examples from physics
include constrained quantization, curved spaces, magnetic
monopoles, gauge theories, massless particles, and $theta$- vacua.
Accessible to mathematicians with some prior knowledge of classical
and quantum mechanics, and to mathematical physicists and
theoretical physicists with some background in functional analysis.
