It is almost impossible to construct a general theory of the motion of a strongly perturbed dynamical system using classical perturbation theory because this approach uses a reference orbit which is very different from the actual orbit. A general method, pioneered by Jefferys (1968, 1976), is presented. This method allows each quasi-periodic orbit to specify the coordinates to be used. These coordinates are discovered by a truncated infinite series of coordinate transformations. The transformations are implemented using the idea that the nature of a dynamical system is embodied in the symplectic form. The method is illustrated by a simple example. Further weak perturbations are easily incorporated into this semi-analytical solution by the usual methods.
