The '''Principle of Least Action''' is an assumption of efficient motion in physics whereby a particle of fixed overall potential and kinetic energy follows the path that minimizes its action.

The '''Principle of Least Action''' is an assumption of efficient motion in physics whereby a particle of fixed overall potential and kinetic energy follows the path that minimizes its action. This principle is remarkably productive in [[modern physics]] because it does not depend on vectors or forces, and tends to be independent of coordinate systems.

Variations on this principle include the insights that:

Variations on this principle include the following insights that:
    
* a multi-body system will come to rest at a position that minimizes overall potential energy.
 
* a multi-body system will come to rest at a position that minimizes overall potential energy.
