Lecture
Constraints and Lagrange Formalism
Description
This lecture by the instructor covers the concept of constraints in physics, focusing on degrees of freedom and Lagrange formalism. The slides discuss generalized coordinates, holonomic constraints, and the Lagrange representation of systems. Emphasis is placed on mathematical representations and the principle of d'Alembert.
