Abstract

This is a concise review of the symmetries and conserved quantities of the constrained mechanical systems. It deals with three kinds of symmetries: the Noether symmetry, the Lie symmetry and the form invariance, and three kinds of conserved quantities: the Noether conserved quantity, the Hojman type conserved quantity and the new conserved quantity.
