I'm a first year physics student and all we learn at the moment is Newtonian mechanics. It is only in third year that we start to learn Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. How is that these Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics differ from Newtonian and if the former 2 are reformulations of Newtonian mechanics, why do they even teach us Newtonian mechanics in the first place? Why not just teach us Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics to save us time?
