- When
- 1797
- Where
- École Polytechnique, Paris
Lagrange's treatise Théorie des fonctions analytiques, based on his École Polytechnique lectures on the differential calculus, appeared in 1797.
The treatise originated in Lagrange's lectures on the differential calculus delivered at the École Polytechnique, where he had been the first professor of analysis since the school's opening in 1794. Published in 1797, the work later came to be recognized as laying some of the foundations of group theory, anticipating Galois. The passage supplies only the year of publication; no month or day is given, so the legacy row's 1 January date cannot be confirmed.
