One of the 18th century's greatest mathematicians, Lagrange made significant contributions to analysis and number theory. He delivered these lectures on arithmetic, algebra, and geometry at the École Normale, a training school for teachers. An exemplar among elementary expositions, they feature both originality of thought and elegance of expression.
