About the Author
Oskar Bolza (1857–1942) studied mathematics at the University of Berlin and later at Strasbourg. He taught at Johns Hopkins, Clark University, and the University of Chicago, returning to Germany 22 years later but retaining the University of Chicago title of Non-resident Professor of Mathematics for the rest of his life. He taught mathematics at the University of Freiburg until his 1933 retirement.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of the Calculus of Variations, a branch of mathematics that deals with finding the maximum or minimum values of definite integrals. The author takes readers on a journey through the history of the subject, tracing its development over the last thirty years. The book delves into the foundational principles of the Calculus of Variations, examining the crucial contributions of mathematicians like Weierstrass, Erdmann, Du Bois-Reymond, Scheeffer, and Schwarz. Readers will learn about the key concepts of the first and second variation, the significance of Weierstrassââ â¢s construction, and the groundbreaking work of Hilbert. Beyond a historical overview, the book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of the field, including rigorous proofs of essential conditions and detailed discussions on the existence of fields and the implications of Hilbertââ â¢s existence proof. The author provides numerous examples to illustrate the applications of these principles, making complex concepts accessible to a broader audience. The bookââ â¢s insights into the Calculus of Variations serve as a foundation for understanding the mathematical tools used to solve optimization problems across a range of disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332772131_0
