In this part, we'll finally get to what this course is actually about - Lagrangian mechanics. We'll be discussing all the basics of Lagrangian mechanics and how to use it, including generalized coordinates, generalized momenta and constraints.

This part will cover most of the things you need to know about Lagrangian mechanics, as well as some examples - lots of examples - to illustrate the points made.
