The calculus of variations was a method in applied calculus that required a full command of cutting-edge developments in mathematics in the early eighteenth century. It was therefore used as arena in which the leading mathematicians of the day could display their superior skills and knowledge. The calculus of variations was applicable to a wide range of problems, but in its earliest days there did not seem to be any common thread connecting the arguments and the solutions to these various problems. With the 1718 publication of Swiss mathematician Johann I Bernoulli’s essay on the calculus in the Histoire de l’Académie Royale des Sciences: Avec les Memoires de Mathematique et de Phisique pour la même année (history of the royal academy of sciences: with the memoirs of mathematics and physics for the same year), the first glimmerings of a general theory emerged, a theory that was to play an important role in the natural sciences as well as in mathematics over the next two centuries.
