  36. Before going to Quantum Field Theory, lets remind ourselves of the Lagrange formalism

  37. Lagrangian

  38. Euler-Lagrange • Euler-Lagrange equations: • Least-action, or Hamilton’s principle: Niels Tuning (38)

  39. Lagrangian and Equation of motion: Example 1) Lagrangiaan 2) Euler-Lagrange vergelijking Equation of motion q: generalized coordinates pendulum
