Abstract
In Chap. 2 it was shown how geometrical and internal symmetries of the Lagrangian lead to conserved currents and charges. In this chapter we take the opposite approach of using the observations of conservation laws to deduce the required symmetries of the Lagrangian. These, together with a desire for simplicity, will allow us to formulate a Lagrangian.
