If you've taken any high school physics, you're probably familiar with Newton's laws. What if we told you there was another formulation thereof, called the Lagrangian, that lets you solve many problems that are nearly impossible with just the Newtonian formulation? In this class, we will explore the derivation of the Lagrangian formulation from the Euler-Lagrange equations, then solve a few examples to demonstrate the elegance of this new formulation.
