His Mathematical History • By the age of 19 Lagrange was appointed to professor of math at the Royal Artillery School in Turin, Italy. • This happened because Euler stated how impressed he was with Lagrange’s work on the tautochrone, which demonstrated his method of maxima and minima called “Calculus of Variation”. • His discoveries had a very important part to do with the not yet know subject, Calculus.

  6. His Mathematical History • He received two offers to work at Berlin Academy. • He accepted the offer and succeeded as the Director of Mathematics on November 6, 1766. • After that he moved on to Paris Academy of Science where he stayed for the rest of his career.

  7. Famous Quotations • “Before we take to sea we walk on land, before we create we must understand.” • “When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.”
