  4. from the Tautochrone Problem to maximizing and minimizing functionals

  5. Euler and the Calculus of Variations "with characteristic courtesy he withheld a paper he had previously written, which covered some of the same ground, in order that the young Italian might have time to complete his work, and claim the undisputed invention of the new calculus" from Galletto.
