Hello,

I have been watching the lectures of Susskind's "Theoretical Minimum" 
course, and using Sympy with IPython notebook to take notes, and work 
through some of the examples.

Sympy is serious overkill for this purpose, but overall it has been working 
well.

A couple of questions:

   - What is the best way to deal with dynamics variables and the dot 
   convention for printing? (In physics, the first time derivative of x is 
   often written as \dot{x} instead of dx/dt.)  Is there an easy way to get 
   IPython notebook to print dynamics variables using the dot convention, and 
   still give the nice LaTeX-rendered equations?  If I use vprint (from 
   physics.vector), I get the variables  with primes, but just a text 
   rendering of the equations.
   - I notice sympy.physics.mechanics.LagrangesMethod and 
   sympy.calculus.euler.euler_equations both implement Lagrangian mechanics. 
   Is one of these more "official"  than the other?  Both seem to work for the 
   very simple examples I have tried.

Thanks
