Excerpt from Lectures on Elementary MathematicsThe present work, which is a translation of the Leçons élémentaires sur les mathematiques of Joseph Louis Lagrange, the greatest of modern analysts, and which is to be found in Volume VII. of the new edition of his collected works, consists of a series of lectures delivered in the year 1795 at the Ecole Normale, - an institution which was the direct outcome of the French Revolution and which gave the first impulse to modern practical ideals of education. With Lagrange, at this institution, were associated, as professors of mathematics, Monge and Laplace, and we owe to the same historical event the final form of the famous Géométrie descriptive, as well as a second course of lectures on arithmetic and algebra, introductory to these of Lagrange, by Laplace.With the exception of a German translation by Niedermüller (Leipsic, 1880), the lectures of Lagrange have never been published in separate form; originally they appeared in a fragmentary shape in the Séances des Ecoles Normales, as they had been reported by the stenographers, and were subsequently reprinted in the journal of the Polytechnic School. From references in them to subjects afterwards to be treated it is to be inferred that a fuller development of higher algebra was intended, - an intention which the brief existence of the Ecole Normale defeated. With very few exceptions, we have left the expositions in their historical form, having only referred in an Appendix to a point in the early history of algebra.The originality, elegance, and symmetrical character of these lectures have been pointed out by DeMorgan, and notably by Dühring, who places them in the front rank of elementary expositions, as an exemplar of their kind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lagrange teaching elementary mathematics By Jose Luiz Pastore Mello Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) is one of the eighteenth century's greatest mathematicians. In spite of Lagrange is most known as a creator of calculus of variations, a branch of superior mathematics, in 1795 he was appointed to a mathematical chair at the newly-established École Normale, where he taught courses on elementary mathematics for training school teachers. Lectures on elementary mathematics is a book that show a great mathematician exploring with originality and elegance topics of elementary mathematics as a fractions, proportions, logarithms, divisibility, equations and others. It is a great book for teachers and lovers of mathematics.Jose Luiz Pastore Mello (Sao Paulo, Brazil)

By Amazon Customer In my kindle android reading app, the mathematical equations are totally garbled. Only one who already is familiar with the topics and the details of the math therein will be able to benefit from this. But what benefit will it be if they already know the math? Perhaps there is a little history here which is valuable. I had to download the free online pdf version of the book to find out what the obviously garbled math was. Clearly, this book was simply created by running the images of the pages through an OCR program that doesn't handle math well (that is probably most of them.) Then there was no editing to correct the problems. [nb, I rarely write a review but thought there should be some balance to all the 5 star entries. Hope this is helpful.]
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great book - only 150 pages By kookie womblat A great book - only 150 pages, but some very interesting mathematics. Some undoubtedly will not appreciate Lagrange's chatty style, but we must remember that it was written well before rigorous mathematical proof was common. His intuitive approach I find refeshing. It also is very realistic as even with today's rigor, a sense, or a hypothesis as to what something might be, is still the way some ideas begin. In Lagrange's time (1736-1813) that was sufficient. However, today, such approaches are not even mentioned. Being familiar with some of Lagrange's more advanced work in analysis, I bought this book as an add-on along with something else I was actually looking for. And I am glad I did.
