Physics - Adv. Mechanics: Principle of Least Action (1 of 33) What is the Principle of Least Action?

Visit for more math and science lectures!

We will learn The Principle of Least Action is when a particle moving under the influence of a force (like a gravitational force) will take a path in such a manner that the time averaged kinetic energy of the particle minus the averaged potential energy of the particle is a minimum.
