Excerpt from A Treatise on the Calculus of Variations

In a branch of analytical science so abstract as the Calculus of Variations, which originated in solving a particular class of problems, and gra dually reached its present perfect state, little pro gress can be made without constant reference to examples; and probably no student who turns his attention for the first time to the subject of Varia tions, will fully understand the articles 16 - 22, in the following work, until he has applied them to particular instances. I have, therefore, introduced many examples, as the only means of lessening to my readers the difficulties of so abstract a theory.
