SO Imperfections of preceding Methods. when fVx is the analytical expression of the maximum property ; thus, V = Mx + Ny 4- Ls which mode of expression, Euler, as we shall hereafter see, skilfully availed himself of. The methods of the Bernoullis and of Taylor, were held, at the time of their invention, to be most complete and exact. Several imperfections, however, belong to them. They do not apply t...o problems involving three or more properties ; nor do they extend to cases in- volving differentials of a higher order than the first : for instance, they will not solve the problem, in which a curve is required, that, with its radius of cur- vature and evolute shall contain the least area. Secondly, they do not extend to cases, in which the analytical expression contains, besides x, y, and their differentials, integral expressions ; for instance, they will not solve the second case proposed in James Bernoulli's Programma [see p.
