"Lagrange's method produces a kinematical equation (linear in q'), a
dynamical equation (linear in q''), and a constraint equation that includes
Langrange multipliers (if there are constraints). The m_c, m_dc, and m_d
are simply the matrices that contain the coefficients to the linear terms

Correction on what Kane's method class produces, in order as presented in
the docs:
1. holonomic constraint equation (non-linear in the coordinates, e.g.
kinematic loop constraints) [ this can also be in Langrange's method as a
4th equation but we currently don't have it explicitly defined]
2. non
These descriptions reflect the differences in what Langrange's and Kane's
method produces.

These statements are found in the Kane's method and Lagrange's method docs
and are seemingly contradictory

describe a system."
