Come learn about the Lagrangian formalism for classical mechanics and how it applies to orbital mechanics, particle physics, and making your physics homework easier, but, more importantly, be able to impress your friends with terms like "calculus of variations."

Learn how to find approximate solutions to differential equations that are impossible to solve (or that you're just to lazy to solve). We'll cover (ideally), forward Euler, Runge-Kutta, backward Euler, and some programming examples (Python).

Learn the elegance of the Principle of Least Action and use it to easily solve physical problems like multi-body orbits and complex mechanical systems. Plus, be able to impress your friends with terms like “calculus of variations.”
