Joseph-Louis Lagrange ([laˈgrɑ̃ʒ]), born Giuseppe Lodovico Lagrangia^[1]^{[need quotation tae verify]} or Giuseppe Ludovico De la Grange Tournier^[2] (an aa reportit as Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange^[3] or Lagrangia^[4]) (25 Januar 1736 – 10 Aprile 1813) wis an Italian Enlichtenment Era mathematician an astronomer.

In 1766, on the recommendation o Leonhard Euler an d'Alembert, Lagrange succeedit Euler as the director o mathematics at the Proushie Academy o Sciences in Berlin, Proushie, whaur he stayed for ower twenty years, producin vollums o wark an winnin several prizes o the French Academy o Sciences. Lagrange's treatise on analytical mechanics (Mécanique analytique, 4. ed., 2 vols. Paris: Gauthier-Villars et fils, 1788–89), written in Berlin an first published in 1788, offered the maist comprehensive treatment o clessical mechanics syne Newton an formed a basis for the development o mathematical pheesics in the nineteent century.

In 1787, at age 51, he muived frae Berlin tae Paris an becam a member o the French Academy o Sciences. He remeened in Fraunce till the end o his life. He wis signeeficantly involved in the decimalisation in Revolutionary Fraunce, becam the first professor o analysis at the École polytechnique upon its appenin in 1794, wis a foondin member o the Bureau des Longitudes, an becam Senator in 1799.
