O Autorze

Joseph-Louis Lagrange was a prominent mathematician and astronomer, renowned for his contributions to various fields including calculus, number theory, and mechanics. Born in Torino, Italy, Lagrange showed prodigious talent in mathematics from a young age, eventually moving to Paris where he became a leading figure in the Enlightenment mathematical community. His work laid the groundwork for many modern mathematical theories and applications.
Lagrange is particularly celebrated for the Lagrange multiplier method in optimization, as well as his contributions to celestial mechanics. His influential publications include 'Mécanique Analytique', where he reformulated classical mechanics using a new analytical approach. Lagrange's legacy continues to resonate in mathematics and science, influencing generations of mathematicians and scientists who followed him.
