| | 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. |
