This is stuff I do in order to understand analytical mechanics better, I encounter the followin thing:
[tex]\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{\phi}} = \text{?}[/tex]
Where [tex]\dot{\phi} = \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial q} \frac{dq}{dt} = \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial q} \dot{q}[/tex]
I should know this! It is embarrasing :-(
p.s take notice of the "dots", what's wrong with the latex generator?
