Talk:Joseph Louis Lagrange

". It was Lagrange who developed the Mean Value Theorem. "
I don't like this in the first paragraph. It makes it look as if the mean value theorem was his most important work. Can it pleased be moved lower down in the article ? Theresa knott 14:33 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)
This is a work in progress. Everything but the first paragraph is cut and pasted. If you know of something LaGrange did, then add it in. Also, some argue that the MTV is the most important theorem in calculus. Pizza Puzzle
Can you tell me why you keep in spelling his name LaGrange, rather than Lagrange? See this search http://www.google.com/search?q=lagrange%20site%3A.fr for how the French spell it (and they should know) and this one http://www.google.com/search?q=mathematician+lagrange for the mathematician. Notice how all of the few mis-spellings are on U.S. sites, but the consensus on both sides of the Atlantic by a large margin is "Lagrange". -- The Anome
- According to the MacTutor article (http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Lagrange.html), he sometimes signed his name Lodovico LaGrange, in his youth. So it's not really a misspelling as such, although obviously we shouldn't use it. --Zundark 10:40, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I was watching Star Hunter and they mentioned Lagrange points. Something about orbiting planets. ??? -gbleem
- See Lagrangian point. (This was hard to find from the article, so I'll add it as a see-also.) --Zundark 10:40, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)
lagrange's error bound
Does anyone know what is lagrange's error bound?
Number Theory at risk
I wonder what makes The theory of numbers neglected (in "the neglected but singularly fascinating subject of the theory of numbers").
