Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While easier to solve and accessible to a broader range of students, one-dimensional variational problems and their associated differential equations exhibit many of the same complex behavior of higher-dimensional problems. This book, the first moden introduction, emphasizes direct methods and provides an exceptionally clear view of the underlying theory.
