This might work better flipped? Since Newton's second law is simpler but in most instances as effective as Lagrangian formulation.

Yeah saw those comments in the fb group I stole this from. I can see both ways. The original way makes sense if you think of the lagrangian as the uglier one that is effective because it gets its hands dirty, no concern for elegance or style.
no concern for elegance or style.
I'm biased but I actually think the Lagrangian formulation and the calculus of variations is very elegant!
No disagreement here!
Joseph-Louis Langrange was getting his hands dirty while Isaac Newton was F'ing his ma-ma.
