| Zusammenfassung: | 1. Introduction. The equations of dynamics were put into a general form
by Lagrange, who expressed them in terms of a set of generalized coordinates
and velocities. An alternative general form was later given by Hamilton, in
terms of coordinates and momenta. Let us consider the relative merits of the
two forms. |
