An Introduction to Lagrangian Mechanics
by Alain J. Brizard
Publisher: Saint Michael's College, Colchester 2007
Number of pages: 232
Description:
These lecture notes are meant to provide a self-consistent introduction to Classical Mechanics without the need of any additional material. They are normally used for an intermediate course in Classical Mechanics by inserting a more general and rigorous introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods suitable for undergraduate physics students at sophomore and junior levels.

Lagrangian Mechanics
by Huseyin Canbolat - InTech
Lagrangian mechanics is widely used in several areas of research and technology. It is simply a reformulation of the classical mechanics by the mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1788. Since then, this approach has been applied to various fields.

Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Geometries: Applications to Analytical Mechanics
by Radu Miron - arXiv
The aim is to provide a compendium of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian geometries and to introduce and investigate new analytical Mechanics: Finslerian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. The fundamental equations are derived from the variational calculus ...

Lagrangian Mechanics, Dynamics, and Control
by Andrew D. Lewis - Queen's University
These notes deal primarily with the subject of Lagrangian mechanics. The control theory we discuss here is quite elementary, it will serve to give a flavour of the subject so that people can see if the area is one which they'd like to pursue.

Lecture notes on Mather's theory for Lagrangian systems
by Alfonso Sorrentino - arXiv
In these lecture notes we shall try to to provide a brief, but comprehensive introduction to Mather's theory for Lagrangian systems and its subsequent developments by Ricardo Mane and Albert Fathi. We shall consider only the autonomous case.
