Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed history of the Calculus of Variations during the 19th century. It delves into the subject's development, showcasing how prominent mathematicians of the era expanded its boundaries. The author meticulously analyzes key treatises and memoirs, comparing and contrasting different approaches to solving problems involving the variation of integrals, both single and multiple. The book also examines the criteria for distinguishing maximum from minimum values in integral expressions, tracing the evolution of these criteria through the works of Legendre, Brunacci, and Jacobi. Beyond merely outlining the chronological progress of the subject, the author delves into the conceptual and methodological shifts that occurred within the Calculus of Variations during this period. He highlights the emergence of new approaches, such as those involving variable limits of integration, and carefully analyzes the impact of key insights from various mathematicians. The author's thorough examination of past work allows him to identify and clarify errors, offering a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the evolution of this important mathematical field.

Scarce First edition of Todhunter's important historical work including his own research. Todhunter designed his work to follow that of Robert Woodhouse, whose A TREATISE ON ISOPERIMETRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS, 1810, covered the history up through the end of the eighteenth century. "Within these years he also labored at some works of a more strictly scientific character. Professor Woodhouse (who was the forerunner of the Analytical Society) had written a history of the calculus of variations, ending with the eighteenth century; this work was much admired for its usefulness by Todhunter and as he felt a decided taste for the history of mathematics he formed and carried out the project of continuing the history of that calculus during the nineteenth century. It was the first of the great historical works which has given Todhunter his high place among, the mathematicians of the nineteenth century. This history was published in 1861; in 1862 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. In 1863 he was a candidate for the Sadlerian professorship of Mathematics, to which Cayley was appointed. Todhunter was not a mere mathematical specialist. He was an excellent linguist; besides being a sound Latin and Greek scholar, he was familiar with French, German, Spanish, Italian and also Russian, Hebrew and Sanskrit. He was likewise well versed in philosophy, and for the two years 1863âÂÂ"5 acted as an Examiner for the Moral Science Tripos, of which the chief founders were himself and Whewell." âÂÂ" A. Macfarlane, Lectures on Ten British Mathematicians of the Nineteenth Century, New York: Wiley and London: Chapman and Hall 1916, pp. 134âÂÂ"146. Todhunter (1820-1884), English mathematician, was one of the most influential figures in mathematical education of the 19th century. - DNB. Zeitlinger (Sotheran I, p. 249: "Very scarce").

Oxford DNB, J. B. Mullinger, revised by Adrian Rice "Todhunter, Isaac (1820-1884)"; Bibliotheca Chemico-Mathematica, 249; Dauben 1361. Todhunter was one of the best-known British mathematicians of the nineteenth century. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Cambridge from 1849 until his death in 1884. Although he made some original contributions to mathematics, his reputation largely rests upon his work in the history of mathematics; he wrote several influential books on the subject, including the present volume. The book was intended to extend the well-known treatment of the history of the calculus by Woodhouse through the middle of the nineteenth century, and includes coverage of the work of Lagrange, Gauss, Poisson, Cauchy, and others. An exceptional copy of this important work in the history of mathematics, with an interesting association and scarce thus. An attractive Near Fine copy with minor wear to the extremities.
