Review: Great book - Great book, everything is clearly explained, includes step by step equation manipulation so you can follow along, gives very good examples, draws appropriate parallels so you can call upon previous knowledge you might have. The only suggestion would be to have numbered each equation to help with following the derivations (but I guess the lack of numbered equations forced me to really understand/follow each step). Overall great book for both variational calculus & Lagrangian mechanics. Thanks Ville! Chris I should add, there are minor typos in the formulas in a few places but the Appendix Longer Calculations seems to have it all correct. Ie: pg 211 vs pg 382
Review: Interesting and engaging presentation of an extremely important topic - Theoretical physicist here - this book is a great journey through the world of Lagrangian Mechanics. The themes are good, the examples are interesting, and most importantly, it's all basically correct. It lacks some rigor, but I don't think the author is going for that. There certainly is an aspect of Lagrangian Mechanics that should be focused on awe and wonder, and this books picks out that thread extremely well. I have to say that - despite the title - I don't know who the audience is. If you are not a physicist, it doesn't seem to me that you'd have the background to follow the book. You at least need several semesters of calculus, and a differential equation course would be helpful too. So who are the non-physicists this book is targeting? I can see an interested undergraduate, or working graduate student, using this book as a study guide *for sure*, but again - not in fields other then physics. Still, I don't want to take away from the quality of the book as a text - it reads the way my colleagues and I talk about Lagrangian Mechanics, which is a great thing!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super great at its intended goals
*by A***M on August 18, 2024*

This is a GREAT introduction to a topic I'd been intending to learn for some time. I speak as a physics major (long ago) then as an EE Prof. for 26 years (!). Pros: 1) Well organized 2) Super clear discussion of the various points, including the WHY behind the equations. I really appreciated the down to earth, conversational style. 3) He fills in LOTS of the steps for many of the derivations and examples 4) By the time I finished the book, I felt like I had a good grasp of the basics Cons: 1) poor editing - typos, equations that printed out wrong (like an arrow in the wrong place) and more 2) No HW sets - this is NOT a textbook 3) The wording in the text could be a bit repetitive - maybe AI assisted? The author, as near as I can tell, is a Finnish grad student. Being a grad student can be a good thing - he's closer in age to students new to this topic. That said, for the price, for what I learned, this is maybe the best price paid to what I learned ratio of just about any science book I have read. Recommended - as an introduction, or to fill in the blanks if you took this course and came away mystified.
