""Introduction to the Calculus of Variations"" is a book written by William Elwood Byerly and first published in 1917. The book is a comprehensive introduction to the study of calculus of variations, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with finding the optimal solution to a given problem. The book covers a range of topics including the basic principles of the calculus of variations, the Euler-Lagrange equation, the Hamiltonian formulation, and the variational methods in mechanics. It also includes a number of examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both beginners and advanced learners. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers in mathematics, physics, and engineering who want to gain a deeper understanding of the calculus of variations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
