L = T - V, and after plugging it in to
((d/dt)(d/dv) - (d/dx))L = 0
you generate the equations of motion.
I've been using this all semester, and I never knew "why" it works. I just knew it works, and worked damn well :beer:
What is it about knowing kinetic and potential energy that leads one to believe you can understand motion?
