| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is about the Calculus of Variations and its history. It will go over who the contributors were and how variational calculus continues to evolve into what it is today. It will include some problems that brought up the idea of this topic and how they came about solving it. We will also go over some examples of calculus of variations and some of its applications in our society today. | |
