Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736 1813), one of the notable French
mathematicians of the Revolutionary period, is remembered for his
work in the fields of analysis, number theory and mechanics. Like
Laplace and Legendre, Lagrange was assisted by d'Alembert, and it
was on the recommendation of the latter and the urging of Frederick
the Great himself that Lagrange succeeded Euler as the director of
mathematics at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. The
two-volume M canique analytique was first published in 1788; the
edition presented here is that of 1811 15, revised by the author
before his death. In this work, claimed to be the most important on
classical mechanics since Newton, Lagrange developed the law of
virtual work, from which single principle the whole of solid and
fluid mechanics can be derived.
