| Popis: | We propose a unified approach to the theory of connections in the geometry of sprays and Finsler metrics which, in particular, gives a simple explanation of the well-known fact that all the classical Finslerian connections provide exactly the same formulas appearing in the calculus of variations. Comment: 14 pages. Title changed. To appear in the Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society |
