Hi Nick,
Exercise caution when attempting to grasp the principle of least action,
particularly if you desire an intuitive comprehension of it.
It is essential to recognize the significance of the principle of least
action, as it applies to various areas of physics and could potentially
hold a clo
The Action is the integral of the Lagrangian along the whole path, not just
a single instant.

So the difference is at a positive max when the ball hits the ground and at
a negative maximum when the ball reaches its highest altitude? So how am I
to understand positive and negative?vectors?
Instantaneious Action is at a minimum when the two terms are equal?
I have no intuitive sense of
Hi Frank and all,
Ok, so the Action of an object is the diffrence between its kinetic and its
potential energy. (Have I got the grammar right?) Since mass appears in
both terms, the Action is the mass of the object times the difference
between half it's squared velocity and it's height off the su
Frank,
Thanks SO MUCH for forwarding this to me. To any other defrocked english
majors on Friam, who have listened to these guys blather on about
LaGrangians for all these years, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the video.
Pretty short, AND, you might possibly, conceivably understand Steve Guerin
whe
yup.
