Rate this book
Das Buch ""Joseph Louis Lagranges Zusatze Zu Eulers Elementen Der Unbestimmte Analysis (1898)"" ist eine Sammlung von Aufs�����tzen des franz������sischen Mathematikers Joseph Louis Lagrange. Die Aufs�����tze sind Erg�����nzungen zu Leonhard Eulers Werk ""Elemente der Algebra"" und befassen sich mit der unbestimmten Analysis. Lagrange erl�����utert darin unter anderem die Methode der Variation der Konstanten und die Anwendung der partiellen Integration. Das Buch ist eine wichtige Quelle f�����r die Entwicklung der Mathematik im 18. Jahrhundert und eignet sich f�����r Mathematiker und Historiker, die sich mit der Geschichte der Mathematik besch�����ftigen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

French mathematician and astronomer comte Joseph Louis Lagrange developed the calculus of variations in 1755 and made a number of other contributions to the study of mechanics.

Born Giuseppe Lodovico Lagrangia (also reported as Giuseppe Luigi Lagrangia) this man of Enlightenment era of Italy made significant contributions to the fields of analysis, number theory, classical mechanics, and celestial mechanics. He died in Paris.

In 1766, on the recommendation of Leonhard Euler and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, Lagrange succeeded Euler as the director of mathematics at the Prussian academy of sciences in Berlin, Prussia, where he stayed for more than two decades, producing volumes of work and winning several prizes of the French Academy of Sciences. Treatise of Lagrange on analytical mechanics (Mécanique Analytique, 4. ed., 2 vols. Paris: Gauthier-Villars et fils, 1888–89), written in Berlin and first published in 1788, offered the most comprehensive treatment of classical mechanics since Newton and formed a basis for the development of mathematical physics in the nineteenth century.

In 1787, at age 51, he moved from Berlin to Paris and became a member of the French Academy. He remained in France until the end of his life. He was significantly involved in the decimalisation in Revolutionary France, became the first professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique upon its opening in 1794, founding member of the Bureau des Longitudes and Senator in 1799.
