Publisher's Synopsis
""The Calculus of Variations in the Large"" is a classic text written by Marston Morse that explores the mathematical field of calculus of variations. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, including its history, fundamental concepts, and advanced applications. Morse's approach to the topic is unique in that he focuses on the behavior of variational problems as the size of the domain or the number of variables grows large. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the Euler-Lagrange equation, the calculus of variations in multiple dimensions, and the theory of minimal surfaces. It also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the concepts presented. Overall, ""The Calculus of Variations in the Large"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the field of calculus of variations and its applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering.American Mathematical Society, Colloquium Publications, V18.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
