Rationale
Around one hundred years after Isaac Newton, a new formulation of mechanics emerged due largely to the work of Euler and Lagrange as well as others. In this formalism forces play a secondary role, or no role at all, and Newton’s second law is not needed. This view of mechanics is much more powerful and far-reaching, and is the emphasis of this course.
