Engineering Design
Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertius
(1698 – 1759)
In 1746, President of Academy of
Sciences in Berlin
“God’s intention to regulate physical
phenomena by a general principle of
highest perfection” – ridiculed by
Voltaire

Euler , Lagrange and Hamilton –
“Principle of least action”
Calculus of variations – powerful tool
of
Mechanics, optics, electrodynamics
and other branches of physics.
The description of right lines and circles,
upon which geometry is founded, belongs
to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us
to draw these lines, but requires them to be
drawn – Isaac Newton

Greek geometers – posed and solved
optimization problems in elementary
geometry
Weierstrass – Existence of an optimum
solution
1 is the highest integer!
If x is the highest integer and x > 1, then
x 2 > x . So x cannot be the highest integer.
