  Joseph Louis Lagrange
Lagrange was a favourite of the king, who used frequently to discourse to him on the advantages of perfect regularity of life.
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.
Lagrange's interests were essentially those of a student of pure mathematics: he sought and obtained far-reaching abstract results, and was content to leave the applications to others.

  Joseph Louis Lagrange Summary
Lagrange did not explicitly recognize groups, but he obtained implicitly some of the simpler properties, including the theorem known after him, which states that the order of a subgroup is a divisor of the order of the group.
Lagrange did not regard the principle as an axiom but rather as a general expression of the law of equilibrium deduced from the laws of the lever and the composition of forces or, alternatively, from the properties of strings and pulleys.

 Lagrange inversion theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematical analysis, the Lagrange inversion theorem, also known as the Lagrange-Bürmann formula, gives the Taylor series expansion of the inverse function of an analytic function.
The theorem was proved by Lagrange and generalized by Bürmann, both in the late 18th century.
The Fundamental theorem of combinatorial enumeration (unlabelled case) applies.

 The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
It was Lagrange who created the calculus of variations which was later expanded by Weierstrass, solved the isoperimetrical problem on which the variational calculus is based in part, and made some important discoveries on the tautochrone which would contribute substantially to the then newly formed subject.
Lagrange also invented the method of solving differential equations known as variation of parameters, applied differential calculus to the theory of probabilities and attained notable work on the solution of equations.
At a later period Lagrange reverted to the use of infinitesimals in preference to founding the differential calculus on the study of algebraic forms; and in the preface to the second edition of the Mécanique, which was issued in 1811, he justifies the employment of infinitesimals, and concludes by saying that:

 The Reference Frame: Joseph Louis Lagrange: an anniversary
Joseph Louis, comte de Lagrange, an eminent mathematician and a tragic figure, was born on January 25th, 1736, in Turin as Giuseppe Lodovico Lagrangia.
Lagrange also coined an "infinitesimal" approach to calculus - one that directly assumes the existence of infinitesimal numbers and avoids epsilons and deltas - but his approach was heuristic at that time and was only recently made rigorous (and has previously led many sloppy people to errors).
Lagrange's health was never great and the mental part of these difficulties helped him to die at the age of 77.

 Multivariate Lagrange Inversion
A new formulation of Lagrange inversion for several variables will be described which does not involve a determinant.
Such equations are very similar to those that can be solved in one dimension by Lagrange inversion, and it is natural to try and solve them with a suitable extension.
It is possible to obtain a univariate local limit theorem for the number of red vertices in trees having a fixed number of vertices, or a bivariate local limit theorem for the joint distribution of the numbers of red and green vertices.

 Lagrange Inversion via Transforms
Freeman's [2] development of a theory of transforms of linear operators on generating functions provides us with a new interpretation of what inversion could mean in general (Theorem 1).
More such generalizations could be made, but for the purpose of a general Lagrange inversion formula we only have to verify proposition (4.9) of [2].
In order to arrive at Lagrange inversion in its customary form we have to make some special choices in the general inversion formula above.

Lagrange's formula for series reversion is treated as an application.
An outline of the proof is: (1) interpret the defining functional relations as generating functions for colored trees, (2) interpret the desired coefficient as the generating function for functions from a set to a larger set, (3) decompose the functional digraph from (2) into two types of connected components, whose generating functions give the MLIF.
The proofs of the theorems are of a combinatorial character, some of them involving one-to-one correspondences of paths.

 Math 503 diary, fall 2004
For example, Hurwitz's Theorem plays an important role in many proofs of the Riemann Mapping Theorem, where the candidate for the "Riemann mapping" is a limit of some sequence of functions, and then (because, say, the limit candidate has derivative not 0 at a point) the limit must be 1-to-1.
This is a direct consequence of the Residue Theorem, recognizing that the function f(w)/(w-z) (a function of w) is holomorphic in U\{z}, and has a simple pole at z with residue equal to f(z).
It is worth pointing out, as I tried to, that inversion in a circle (a point goes to another point, and the result is on the same line with the center of the circle, with the product of the distances to the center being the square of the radius) preserves circles.

 Asymptotics of Implicit Functions and Computer Algebra
If the function admits a power series expansion near the point of interest, then Lagrange's inversion theorem can be used, or Brent and Kung's fast algorithm for power series inversion (see section 2).
An interesting more general problem than the inversion problem is to find an algorithm to determine the asymptotic behaviour of implicit functions, say the solutions of exp-log functions in two variables.
An exp-log function f tending to infinity is given at input, and we compute a nested expansion of its functional inverse at infinity.

The Lagrange inversion theorem furnishes the number of trees of size $n$ in the form $t_n=n^{n-1}$ (Cayley's theorem); the same theorem gives the explicit expansion of $f(z)=(1-t(z))^{-1}$, and one gets as expected $f_n=n^n$.
The main step in the proof of the theorem is to establish that for $z\in D$, the $e_h(z)$ are approximated by an explicit function of $h$ and $\epsilon$, \begin{equation} \label{O45} e_h(z)\approx 2\epsilon {(1-\epsilon)^h\over 1-(1-\epsilon)^h}\,.
In accordance with Jentzsch's theorem, the zeros tend to accumulate around the circle $z=e^{-1}$.

 Combinatorics
An important property of (any extension of) the umbral calculus is that it has its own generalization of Lagrange's inversion formula (as follows from the closed forms for basic polynomials [67, Theorem 4]).
Thus we find many papers in which new forms of the Lagrange's inversion formula is derived using umbral calculus [4,5,17,41,45,46,52,78,115,124,131].
In [58], the umbral calculus is generalized to symmetric functions.
