Abstract
In this section we discuss general ideas about Lagrangian treatment of systems of particles and fields. Since the particle sector has been already developed in Sect. 2.5, it remains to see how these results can be adapted to the field sector. We then augment our analysis by the addition of terms responsible for the interaction of particles and fields.
