Abstract

[In the first and second parts of his masterpiece, Analytical Mechanics, dedicated to static and dynamics, respectively, Lagrange (1736–1813) describes in detail the development of both branches of mechanics from a historical point of view. In this paper, Lagrange’s important contribution (Lagrange 1989) to the history of mechanics is presented and discussed in tribute to the bicentennial year of his death.]
