After the invention of calculus (differential and integral calculus), the calculus of variations was developed. The calculus of variations has a long history of interaction with geometry and differential equations as will as with physics. The calculus of variations has found applications in other fields such as economics, practical mechanics and electrical engineering. Johann Bernoulli, Leibniz, Newton, Jacob Bernoulli and l'Hopital considered as the starting point of the calculus of variations.


Calculus of variations (or variational calculus) is a branch of mathematical analysis concerned with the problem of finding a function for which the value of a certain integral is either the largest or the smallest possible. In regular calculus we study at small changes in the input of a function and in calculus variation we study at small changes in an entire function, which is the input for functional. It is study of maximum and minimum of certain class of functions. Classical solutions to minimization problems in the calculus of variations are prescribed by boundary value problems involving certain types of differential equations, known as the associated Euler–Lagrange equations. The mathematical techniques that have been developed to handle such optimization problems are fundamental in many areas of mathematics, physics, engineering, and other applications.
