Researches In The Calculus Of Variations, Principally On The Theory Of Discontinuous Solutions

""Researches In The Calculus Of Variations, Principally On The Theory Of Discontinuous Solutions: An Essay"" is a book written by Isaac Todhunter and published in 1871. The book is a collection of research papers on the calculus of variations, which is a branch of mathematics concerned with finding the optimal solution to a problem involving a functional. The book focuses on the theory of discontinuous solutions, which is a relatively new area of study in the calculus of variations. Todhunter's research in this area is based on the work of other mathematicians, including Weierstrass and Dirichlet. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both experts and non-experts in the field. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the calculus of variations, and is still widely read and cited today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
