The Power of L-Formalism

You can watch the high quality version if you like (click "watch in high quality"). A demonstration of the elegance with which the Lagrange Formalism allows you to derive the differential equations of motion of any mechanical system with a conservative potential. In the video I derive the differential equation of a point-mass in a y=x^n constraint and a normal gravity potential. Then i show the solutions for n = {2, 6, 50}. Hope you enjoy(ed) it!
