A History of the Calculus of Variations from the 17th through the 19th Century - Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences
H. H. Goldstine
The calculus of variations is a subject whose beginning can be precisely dated. This analysis of Fermat seems to me especially appropriate as a starting point: He used the methods of the calculus to minimize the time of passage cif a light ray through the two media, and his method was adapted by John Bernoulli to solve the brachystochrone problem.
