Scholars of mechanics generally agree that variational principles provide one of the most elegant, systematic, and satisfying approaches to the study of finite-dimensional dynamical systems. The strength of the variational method lies in its generality. Systematic schemes of approximation, once developed for one problem, are easily adapted to others. Symmetries can be incorporated and exploited in a variety of problems in an essentially uniform and straightforward manner. And deep theorems on the behavior of dynamical systems can readily be applied to a host of otherwise intractable problems.
