Analytical Function Theory

Japanese: 《解析関数論》 - かいせきかんすうろん
Analytical Function Theory

...It expresses a deep faith in the idea that everything in the world should be mechanically determined by mathematical analysis.
[Mathematics since the 19th century]
JL Lagrange was a mathematician from the same era as Laplace, and is known for his works such as Analytical Mechanics (1788) and Theory of Analytical Functions (1797). At the end of the 18th century, he believed that mathematics could no longer make any substantial progress. However, around the turn of the century, a completely new trend in mathematics began to emerge.

From Lagrange

…His work Analytical Mechanics (1788), which he compiled during his time in Berlin, introduced generalized coordinates and derived the fundamental equations of mechanics, laying the foundation for the subsequent development of mechanics. He also wrote works such as Theoretical Functions (1797), which summarized his lectures at the École Polytechnique. Although politically he was in a period of turmoil, he worked hard as chairman of the committee to establish the metric system in 1790. …

[19世紀以降の数学]
 J.L.ラグランジュはラプラスと同時代の数学者で,《解析力学》(1788)や《解析関数論》(1797)などの著書で知られるが,彼は18世紀末には,数学にはもうこれ以上本質的な進歩はありえないかのように思っていたという。しかし世紀の移るころからまったく新しい数学の傾向が見られるようになった。…

【ラグランジュ】より

…ベルリン時代にまとめた《解析力学》(1788)は,一般化座標を導入して力学の基礎方程式を導き,その後の力学の発展の基礎を与えた。また,エコール・ポリテクニクの講義をまとめた《解析関数論》(1797)などの著書がある。政治的には混乱期にあったが,1790年メートル法制定に当たって,その制定委員長として尽力した。…
