Derivation of Euler-Lagrange Equations | Classical Mechanics

Показать описание
The Euler-Lagrange equations describe how a physical system will evolve over time if you know about the Lagrange function. We assume that out of all the different paths a particle can take, it will be the one, where small deviations from the path won’t change the action too much. This is usually referred to as: „the action is stationary“.

If you want to read more about the Lagrangian formulation of #ClassicalMechanics, we can recommend the book „Mechanics“ by Landau and Lifshitz:

This was a phenomenal explanation. Way better than my textbook! Thank you so much.

By far the best derivation of the E-L equation.

Absolutely incredible, helped me understand how to differentiate functionals

woosh! actually i think this was the piece that the text book assumed i already knew when it was talking about this

Why would you assume that someone who wants to see where the Lagrange equation comes from knows the calculus of variations???

What is going on with the continual breaks in audio???
Please can you fix the audio and re-upload this.
