Excerpt
Excerpt: An algebraic variation principle. On the formal side of dynamics it has proved to be a fact of fundamental importance that the differential equations can in general be obtained by demanding that the 'variation? of some definite integral vanishes. To make clear the essential nature of the variation method, we may consider an analogous question concerning ordinary maxima and minima. Let there be given n equations in rt unknown quantities.
