I don't think they're introductory books - the Lagrangian is introduced on the second page! Perhaps for a mathematically sophisticated reader?

Depends on your definitions of "introductory" and "mathematically sophisticated reader". In the university I attended, the first physics course (Mechanics & Optics) introduced the concept of Lagrangian fairly early.
