Lagrangians and Hamiltonians for High School Students

Physics Education 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A discussion of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics is presented at a level which should be suitable for advanced high school students. This is intended for those who wish to explore a version of mechanics beyond the usual Newtonian treatment in high schools, but yet who do not have advanced mathematical skills.
