What is General Relativity? Lesson 26: The central force problem in classical mechanics

In this lesson we prepare ourselves for the study of the Schwarzschild geodesic analysis by doing a deep review of the Lagrangian formalism of classical mechanics with a particular focus on the central force problem.

Just a minor thing, but isn't' the Lagrangian always L = T - V. And if the system has the properties you say, then the Hamiltonian takes on the special form H = T + V?
