Popis:	This paper gives a simple presentation in modern language of the theory of calculus of variations as invented by Euler and Lagrange, as well as an account of the history of its invention. The discussion will show how it serves to solve simple optimization problems and how it has influenced mathematics, physics and related fields up to the present day.
