A (very) Brief History of Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- In this episode, we cover the history of Joseph-Louis Lagrange, an Italian-born French mathematician who was one of the founders of the calculus of variations and developer of Lagrangian Mechanics.
As per usual, I don't go too deeply into the mathematics, focusing primarily on the history.
NOTE: The Curie's won the Nobel Prize, not the Nobel "Peace" Prize. Apologies for the misspeech.

One of the greatest mathematicians . I wonder how every great mathematician initially wanted to be a lawyer
At the time all rich people wanted their kids to study law, also you couldn't build a career in Mathematics.
@@sourabhdhanuka2252you still can't it's very hard :)
I suppose a lawyer presents his or her arguments to the judge in a court of law very logically, methodically, and rigorously just as a mathematician presents his or her arguments logically, methodically and rigorously in constructing a proof of a theorem in mathematics. Only more so.
Minor correction: The narrator stated (towards the end) that Pierre and Marie Curie were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Actually they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 (shared with Henri Becquerel). Marie Curie subsequently went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911.
Students of the future will love your videos. Thank you.
Like going to a museum…
He feared he'd just be working in Euler's shadow. lol.
Amazing channel. I honestly love your videos. Keep up the good work
Obligatory "hey that's the guy in your profile picture"
These videos are really awesome.
Thank you very much.
❤️
Amazing!! Keep doing those videos!!
Thanks for the new episode.
I suggested Liouville on a recent video with some sample references.
💓 thank you for all the videos, I’ve been watching one video a day pretty much. Is it possible that you cover Nash? And maybe math Econ related figures? I appreciate you either way!
Well done. This video has helped a lot with my assignment
The story telling was very well-done.
Thanks for this episode! The use of virtual displacements are hardly understood by people studying physics - most people confuse them for plain infinitesimals as used some formal analysis manipulations.
Thanks for the video! good work
Excellent biopic! A small correction though - at the end of the video you showed the pics of Marie Curie and Pierre Curie as the couple to win the Nobel prize, and you mentioned it was a peace prize. They actually won the Nobel prize in Physics, and Marie Curie later also won the Nobel prize in Chemistry.
Magnifique!
Madame Currie won two Nobel Prizes, one in Chemistry and the other in Physics. She shared one of the Prizes with her husband. They did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nice video! Any plans to do a video on (a highly underrated) Werner Fenchel? His work in convex analysis and (nonlinear) optimization theory forms the basis for so much of modern day applied mathematics (at least for optimization problems).
I don't recall ever hearing the name, but I'll throw him in the backlog! Sounds cool =D
Excellent
I read about him in school, but I didn't know anything about the man. Thanks a lot.
Your pronounciations are very good.
There are several towns in the US named Lagrange and I am curious if they are named after
the euler lagrange equation is very cool and I like using it as a flex in my high school physics class
Nice videos. I must ask how do you pronounce these names?
Hi, nitay! I typically leverage Google Translate, or look up videos where people say the names.
Well, actually he was Italian, born in Turin in 1736, he became french after marring a French woman in 1792 at the age of 56. He used french names (more than one, for example "De la Grange" that he abandoned during french revolution because nobles had the tendency to die guillottined in that period). His birth name was Giuseppe Luigi Lagrangia.
Can you do one cluade Shannon.
Thank you very much for the video actually i was searching about the life of gauss and found your video it was great .... This one too .... I will be watching both again as it was a way fast speaking and my english is not that good 😅 ....Anyways thanks a mole ❤️🙏
You have an amazing accent!
Is the background piece Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1?
edit: no, it is Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2
Can you do à vidéo about Sophie jarmon
Great video, thank you, note to self(nts) watched all of it 18:52
It says a lot about these guys that you can pick up cutting edge computing paper in 2024 and see these names all over it.
Such workaholics, I could never XD
Was Halley a "sixteenth century" english mathematician?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if LaGrange could see the images obtained by the James Webb telescope that is stationed at L2.
Hopefully the next is his colleague: Laplace
It very well could be!
WOW
*Have you read book Jesus Failed and Finished in Disaster? Very good. For those who want to go deeper into LOA and eliminate limiting beliefs I advise, it will greatly expand your mind.*
I came here cos of ZZ Top.
