Lectures on elementary mathematics; Joseph Lagrange
A great book - only 150 pages, but some very interesting mathematics. Some undoubtedly will not appreciate Lagrange's chatty style, but we must remember that it was written well before rigorous mathematical proof was common. His intuitive approach I find refeshing. It also is very realistic as even with today's rigor, a sense, or a hypothesis as to what something might be, is still the way some ideas begin. In Lagrange's time (1736-1813) that was sufficient. However, today, such approaches are not even mentioned. Being familiar with some of Lagrange's more advanced work in analysis, I bought this book as an add-on along with something else I was actually looking for. And I am glad I did.Product details

Lectures on elementary mathematics; Joseph Lagrange Reviews
Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) is one of the eighteenth century's greatest mathematicians. In spite of Lagrange is most known as a creator of calculus of variations, a branch of superior mathematics, in 1795 he was appointed to a mathematical chair at the newly-established École Normale, where he taught courses on elementary mathematics for training school teachers. Lectures on elementary mathematics is a book that show a great mathematician exploring with originality and elegance topics of elementary mathematics as a fractions, proportions, logarithms, divisibility, equations and others. It is a great book for teachers and lovers of mathematics.

Very interesting description of solving 4th degree polynomials.
This is a Book to understand the main ideas of Mr. Lagrange
In my kindle android reading app, the mathematical equations are totally garbled. Only one who already is familiar with the topics and the details of the math therein will be able to benefit from this. But what benefit will it be if they already know the math? Perhaps there is a little history here which is valuable. I had to download the free online pdf version of the book to find out what the obviously garbled math was. Clearly, this book was simply created by running the images of the pages through an OCR program that doesn't handle math well (that is probably most of them.) Then there was no editing to correct the problems. [nb, I rarely write a review but thought there should be some balance to all the 5 star entries. Hope this is helpful.]
