[en] Because of its many uses, the constrained optimization problem is
presented in most calculus courses for mathematicians but also for economists.
Looking at Lagrange's Theorem we are interested in studying the teaching of this
theorem in both branches of study, mathematics and economics. This paper faces a
twofold objective: first, we show the methodology of our research project concerning
the didactic transposition of Lagrange's Theorem in university mathematics courses.
Secondly, we would like to compare two mathematics courses given at the
universities of Namur and Louvain by means of the "Anthropological Theory of
Didactics" of Yves Chevallard.
