  We invite the reader (presumably an upper level undergraduate student) to a
journey leading from the continent of Classical Mechanics to the new
territories of Quantum Mechanics. We'll be riding the symplectic camel and have
William of Occam as travel companion, so no excess baggage is allowed. The
first part of our trip takes us from the symplectic egg to Gromov's
non-squeezing theorem and its dynamical interpretation. The second part leads
us to a symplectic formulation of the quantum uncertainty principle, which
opens the way to new discoveries.
