Abstract

It is shown that, in the symmetric formulation of classical mechanics, the set of dynamical variables of the unconstrained systems constitutes a Jordan algebra under the plus Poisson bracket combination law defined by Droz-Vincent (1966). For the constrained systems, it is shown that the set of dynamical variables constitutes a Jordan algebra under the corresponding plus Dirac bracket combination law if some conditions are satisfied. These conditions are presented.
