Action Principles and Lagrangian Mechanics
An introduction to Lagrangian mechanics, the foundation of all modern physics. Why do we use Lagrangian mechanics? What is the Lagrangian? And how it is derived from the principle of least action?

The Principle of Least Action
An introduction to the principle of least action, which is the foundation of Lagrangian mechanics. What is the principle of least action? Why do we need it? And how does it differ from Newtonian mechanics?
