  "term": "Lagrangian",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A function that summarizes the dynamics of a mechanical system, defined as the kinetic energy of the system minus its potential energy. This approach focuses on the energies involved rather than the forces and accelerations, simplifying the analysis of complex systems with constraints. The equations of motion for the system are derived by applying the Euler-Lagrange equation to the Lagrangian, a fundamental method in the field of analytical mechanics.",
