This set of tutorial materials focuses on explaining the use of the Lagrangian in classical mechanics. In the tutorial, students describe a basic physics problem using a Newtonian notation, then using the Lagrangian, and then compare the two. This material includes a tutorial and example homework.
This is part of a large collection of similar tutorial materials in intermediate classical mechanics.
