Additional Details



Second edition. "With the appearance of the Mécanique analytique in 1788, Lagrange proposed to reduce the theory of mechanics and the art of solving problems in that field to general formulas, the mere development of which would yield all the equations necessary for the solution of every problem"--DSB VII, 569. Bibliotheca Mechanica, page 189; Grolier/Horblit 61; Norman 1257 (all citing original edition).<
