84 DE METHODO MAX. ET MIN.
bent corum differentialia, si sola applicata Nn, quae est $=y$,
variari & particula $n\nu$ augeri ponatur: erit autem hoc sensu
$d.\Pi=0$, quia valorem $\Pi$ puncto H respondentem inde non
affici ponimus. Quoniam jam $\Pi$ est formula integralis indefi-
nita, fit ea $=\int [Z]dx$, & $[Z]$ fit functio ipsarum $x, y, p,
q, r, s$ &c. ita ut fit $d[Z]=[M]dx+[N]dy+[P]dp
+[Q]dq+[R]dr+[S]ds+[T]dt$; unde simul valores
derivativi ipsius $d[Z]$, nempe $d[Z']$, $d[Z'']$, $d[Z''']$, &c.
per notandi modum receptum formari poterunt. His positis,
erit ut sequitur
$\Pi = \int [Z]dx$
$\Pi' = \int [Z]dx+[Z]dx$
$\Pi'' = \int [Z]dx+[Z]dx+[Z']dx$
$\Pi''' = \int [Z]dx+[Z]dx+[Z']dx+[Z'']dx$
$\Pi'''' = \int [Z]dx+[Z]dx+[Z']dx+[Z'']dx
