Abstract
A concise description of 2-dimensional Finsler spaces is presented from the viewpoint of their geodesic curves (i.e., extremals of a variational problem). Berwald's classification and geodesics of 1-form metric spaces are studied. Darboux's solution to the problem of determination of the variational functional (homogeneous Lagrangian) from given geodesic equations is presented.
