	JOSEPH LOUIS LAGRANGE - LoveToKnow Article on JOSEPH LOUIS LAGRANGE
		His father, Joseph Louis Lagrange, married Maria Theresa Gros, only daughter of a rich physician at Cambiano, and had by her eleven children, of whom only the eldest (the subject of this notice) and the youngest survived infancy.
		The prize was again awarded to Lagrange; and he earned the same distinction with essays on the problem of three bodies in 1772, on the secular equation of the moon in- 1774, and in 1778 on the theory of cometary perturbations.
		On the establishment of the Institute, Lagrange was placed at the head of the section of geometry; he was one of the first members of the Bureau des Longitudes; and his name appeared in 1791 on the list of foreign members of the Royal Society.

	Joseph Louis Lagrange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lagrange, who was present, now discussed the whole subject afresh, and in a letter communicated to the Academy in 1808 explained how, by the variation of arbitrary constants, the periodical and secular inequalities of any system of mutually interacting bodies could be determined.
		In 1761 Lagrange stood without a rival as the foremost mathematician living; but the unceasing labour of the preceding nine years had seriously affected his health, and the doctors refused to be responsible for his reason or life unless he would take rest and exercise.
		Lagrange was a favourite of the king, who used frequently to discourse to him on the advantages of perfect regularity of life.

		A French-Italian mathematician named Joseph-Louis Lagrange, born in 1736, discovered their existence during his study of planetary physics.
		Lagrange believed that in a two-body system, such as the Earth and the Sun, there would be five points nearby where an object could be sent and remain in place.
		Lagrange points 4 and 5 are positioned on the Earth's orbit, about 92 million miles in front of and behind the planet as it travels around the Sun.

		Lagrange then generalized Euler’s variational calculus so that it could handle all the problems of mechanics.
		In a youthful discovery he found that he could express Euler’s equation for the function minimizing a functional integral (the equation that would come to be known as the Euler-Lagrange equation) in a neat and compact form using integration by parts.

		The Italian-French mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange discovered five special points in the vicinity of two orbiting masses where a third, smaller mass can orbit at a fixed distance from the larger masses.
		The stable Lagrange points - labeled L4 and L5 - form the apex of two equilateral triangles that have the large masses at their vertices.
		The easiest way to see how Lagrange made his discovery is to adopt a frame of reference that rotates with the system.

		Nachdem sich Lagrange neben seiner Lehrtätigkeit in Turin zusammen mit einigen seiner besten Studenten (aus diesem Kreise sollte später die Akademie der Wissenschaften in Turin entstehen) vorwiegend mathematischen Problemen gewidmet hatte, vor allem der Variationsrechnung, konnte er sich in Berlin auch zunehmend der Astronomie widmen.
		Zusammen mit dem französischen Mathematiker Augustin Louis Cauchy (1789-1857) arbeitete er zudem an den Probleme der analytischen Funktionen in der Mathematik.
