Make clear that Lagrangian/Hamiltonian aren't actually different. Newton rules.

'''Classical mechanics''' refers to a branch of [[physics]] dealing with every-day laws of [[mechanics]] (as opposed to [[quantum mechanics]]). The term is sometimes interchangeable with "Newtonian physics", as it was [[Sir Isaac Newton]] who first proposed the first laws of motion. However, there are other formulations of classical mechanics that are not due to Newton, namely [[Lagrangian dynamics]] and [[Hamiltonian dynamics]]. Classical mechanics is sufficient for explaining most observable phenomena.

(These are simply different formulations of the same principles; they are precisely equivalent to Newtonian mechanics.)  Classical mechanics is sufficient for explaining most observable phenomena.
