(October 10, 2011) Leonard Susskind discusses lagrangian functions as they relate to coordinate systems and forces in a system.
This course is the beginning of a six course sequence that explores the theoretical foundations of modern physics. Topics in the series include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, theories of relativity, electromagnetism, cosmology, and black holes.

it's just the chain rule seeing as v is a function of x: dL(x,v)/dx= dL/dx+ (dL/dv)*(dv/dx)
The d's above should be partials though, and just wrote it with x and v to make it clearer (hopefully!)
