Lagrange points - translation of Lagrange's Essai
My translation of Lagrange's 1772 paper "Essai sur le Probleme des Trois
Corps" is at http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/essai-3c.htm. What Lagrange wrote is rather different from what he is commonly alleged to have written. It is quite easy to see what he did, if the equations are all taken on trust. http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/gravity4.htm#x2 gives a new, simple, proof that L4 and L5 exist at the equilateral locations. -- (c) John Stockton, nr London, UK.
