EDIT: On the second slide, I made a horrible typo. A constraint force is a force applied by the holonomic constraint to keep the system of particles consistent with the constraint. Also, the expression for Total Kinetic Energy must have a summation sign(over the "i" indicies).
PAUSE THE VIDEO IF YOU NEED MORE TIME TO JOT DOWN NOTES.
This is the second video in my Analytical mechanics series. It starts with the assumption that constraint forces do no virtual work and works itself up to Lagrange's Equations of motion which generalizes Newton's second law. However Newton's law only works when the system is free to move in a global Euclidean space.
Lagrangian mechanics allows us to treat a system in a local Euclidean space(called a "manifold.")
Damn, these 1-2 minutes videos about analytical mechanics you post have much more information and explain much better than my 1 hour classes and Goldstein's book combined. Very nice :)

@BarriosGroupie its wikapedia actually =)

@h0wud0in2 haha! yeah Lagrange was amazing. He created generalized coordinates, lagrange multipliers etc.

@BarriosGroupie no i meant Lagrange

@h0wud0in2 he doesn't understand what he's doing. He's just regurgitating it from a book.

And of course, all taken from Goldstein

it is impressive that people actually derived such results. im about to start first year in university know DE lots of calculus (multi, single) series etc etc... and i cannot understand a thing beyond the start. He on the other hand managed to do this so many years ago and he knew he was getting somewhere and not just writting nonsence
