I am trying out the Lagrange equations for the first time, in this case for a particle in orbit around a massive body using classical mechanics. I come up with
[tex]
2 \dot r \dot \theta + r \ddot \theta = 0[/tex]
[tex]
\ddot r - r \dot \theta ^2 + \frac {GM}{r^2}=0
[/tex]
These seem credible to me but are unfamiliar. Are they correct?
