Classical fluid dynamics and the Navier-Stokes Equation were extraordinarily successful in obtaining quantitative understanding of shock waves, turbulence and solitons, but new methods are needed to tackle complex fluids such as foams, suspensions, gels and liquid crystals. Besides their importance in chemistry, quasicrystal structures have attracted a lot of attention from mathematicians and mathematical physicists, because of the particular property of the spectra of Schrödinger operators on such quasi-periodic structures. My favourite for pure classical mechanics is generally the book by Goldstein which includes the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods (although I'm not sure about symplectic geometrical and mathematical foundations).

Geometrically, quasi-crystals behave very much like Penrose tilings and, as such, they fit well within the kind of objects that can be treated by noncommutative geometry methods.
