Publisher's Synopsis
""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 thorough exploration of the calculus of variations, which is a branch of mathematics concerned with finding the extrema of functionals. The focus of the book is on the theory of discontinuous solutions, which involves finding solutions to problems where the function being optimized has discontinuities. Todhunter delves into the history of the calculus of variations, discussing the work of previous mathematicians and the development of the field. He then goes on to explore the theory of discontinuous solutions in depth, providing numerous examples and proofs. The book is highly mathematical and requires a strong background in calculus and analysis to fully understand. Overall, ""Researches In The Calculus Of Variations, Principally On The Theory Of Discontinuous Solutions: An Essay"" is a seminal work in the field of mathematics and an important resource for anyone studying the calculus of variations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
