Defining the path integral as the limit of a Wiener regularized expression, the semiclassical approximation leads to a continuous minimal action path with jumps at the endpoints. The resulting semiclassical propagator is shown to coincide with the exact quantum mechanical propagator. A non-linear transformation of the angle variables allows for a determination of the semiclassical path and the jumps without solving a boundary-value problem. The semiclassical spin dynamics is thus readily amenable to numerical methods.16 pages, submitted to Journal of Physics AQuantum PhysicsMathematical PhysicsSemiclassical dynamics of a spin-1/2 in an arbitrary magnetic fieldtext
