Abstract: To a very good approximation, particularly for hadron machines, charged-particle trajectories in accelerators obey Hamiltonian mechanics. During routine storage times of eight hours or more, such particles execute some $10^8$ revolutions about the machine, $10^{10}$ oscillations about the design orbit, and $10^{13}$ passages through various bending and focusing elements. Prior to building, or modifying, such a machine, we seek to identify accurately the long-term behavior and stability of particle orbits over such large numbers of interactions. This demanding computational effort does not yield easily to traditional methods of symplectic numerical integration, including both explicit Yoshida-type and implicit Runge-Kutta or Gaussian methods. As an alternative, one may compute an approximate one-turn map and then iterate that map. We describe some of the essential considerations and techniques for constructing such maps to high order and for realistic magnetic field models. Particular attention is given to preserving the symplectic condition characteristic of Hamiltonian mechanics.
