    The development of the analytical mechanics of Euler, Lagrange and Hamilton from a student's perspective (English)
    0 references
    This is a brief survey of the development of analytical mechanics with the emphasis on the contributions of Lagrange and Hamilton. The authors incline to the use of a modern formalism to express the results. They illustrate the theory by means of the example of the simple mathematical pendulum.
