The calculus of variations is indissolubly associated with his name.
At the age of nineteen he communicated to Leonhard Euler his idea of a general method of dealing with "isoperimetrical" problems, known later as the Calculus of Variations.
To the calculus of finite differences he contributed the beautiful formula of interpolation which bears his name; although substantially the same result seems to have been previously obtained by Euler.
The calculus of variations lay undeveloped in Euler's mode of treating isoperimetrical problems.
Fatty was failing in Calculus II with a velocity that varied directly as the square of the number of lectures attended.

Blood comes from the pelvis of the kidney in renal calculus (Fig.
The presence of a calculus generally produces pyelitis, and variable amounts of pus then appear, the urine remaining acid in reaction.
The more continuous states which cause it are--stricture of the urethra, enlargement of the prostate gland, and calculus in the bladder.
The reviewers of the mathematical journals when this book first came out agreed that "Professor Murray's views on the Calculus were the most daring yet published.
Because to give you that exact curve would be to solve a point in the 'Problem of the Three Bodies,' which Integral Calculus has not yet reached.
Hence any calculus of the Chances of Peace will be a reckoning of forces which may be counted on to keep a patriotic nation in an unstable equilibrium of peace, 78.
Therefore any calculusof the Chances of Peace appears to become a reckoning of the forces which may be counted on to keep a patriotic nation in an unstable equilibrium of peace for the time being.
He used calculus and differential equations to determine centripetal forces of elliptical orbits, where the distance from the sun, the velocity, and the acceleration were variables.
To condemn this calculus would be to condemn the whole of science.
All these theories are based on the laws of great numbers, and the calculus of probabilities would evidently involve them in its ruin.
But the milky way is not more complicated than a gas; the statistical methods founded upon the calculus of probabilities applicable to a gas are also applicable to it.
For the fortuitous phenomena themselves, it is clear that the information given us by the calculus of probabilities will not cease to be true upon the day when these phenomena shall be better known.
What do we do when we wish to apply the calculus of probabilities to such a question?
X Difficulties are indeed involved in the application of the calculus of probabilities to the exact sciences.
If I give it to him, I shall use the calculus of probabilities, but I shall not guarantee success.
When he makes a summary of his book, he will find that events have taken place in conformity with the laws of the calculus of probabilities.
The calculus of probabilities is therefore not merely a recreation or a guide to players of baccarat, and we must seek to go deeper with its foundations.
Once a minute calculus has been formed, its subsequent growth is highly probable, owing to the deposition on it of the urinary constituent forming it.
In this he established the law of virtual work from which, by the aid of his calculus of variations, he deduced the whole of mechanics, including both solids and liquids.
Furthermore, the conceptual model, built on the lines of a calculus of mathematics, is often considered the truth par excellence after the analogy of a camera's portrait.
The work begins with the definition of a calculus as "The art of manipulating substitutive signs according to fixed rules, and the deduction therefrom of true propositions" (loc.
Hence this is not abandonment of experience but a generalization of it, which results in a calculus potentially applicable not only to it but also to other subject-matter of thought.
From these considerations I am led to think that the calculus of finite differences is, in general, improperly classed with the transcendental analysis proper, that is, with the calculus of indirect functions.
Such a calculus evidently presents, like the calculus of indirect functions, two general classes of questions: 1°.
It clearly follows that abstract mathematics is essentially composed of the Calculus of Functions, which had been already seen to be its most important, most extended, and most difficult part.
Mathematical Tracts on Physical Astronomy, the Figure of the Earth, Precession and Nutation, and The Calculus of Variations.
Calculus of Variations, and one on Wood's Algebra, 2nd and 4th parts.
June 5 On a supposed Failure of the Calculus of Phil.
Mr Peacock gave me a copy of Lacroix's Differential Calculus as translated by himself and Herschel and Babbage, and also a copy of their Examples.
At this time, the use of Differential Calculuswas just prevailing over that of Fluxions (which I had learnt).
The principal investigations on my quires are--Investigations about pendulums, Calculus of Variations, Notes for the Figure of the Earth (Encyc.
I remark that my ideas on the Differential Calculus had not acquired on some important points the severe accuracy which they acquired in a few months.
I worked well, upon my quires, the figure of Saturn supposed homogeneous as affected by the attraction of his ring, and the figure of the Earth as heterogeneous, and the Calculus of Variations.
A History of the Progress of the Calculus of Variations during the Nineteenth Century.
A Treatise on the Integral Calculus and its Applications.
A mathematico-physical calculus that would work was in question.
Democritean physics without a calculushad necessarily proved sterile of determinate concrete results, and this was more than enough to ripen the naturalism of the utilitarian school into scepticism.
Leibnitz probably owes to him the thought of a calculus of symbols, and the conception of demonstration as essentially a chain of definitions.
With Hobbes logic is a calculus of marks and signs in the form of names.
But from the new point of view its method was inadequate too, its contentment with an induction that merely leaves an opponent silent, when experiment and the application of a calculus were within the possibilities.
In the "Principia" Newton published for the first time the fundamental principle of the fluxionary calculus which he had discovered about twenty years before; but not till 1693 was his whole work communicated to the mathematical world.
Before Newton had published a single word upon fluxions the differential calculus had made rapid advances on the Continent.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "calculus" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
