Abstract Euler and Lagrange gave different definitions for the concept of the complete integral respectively in 1770 and 1774. As the foundation of his first-order partial differential equation theory, Lagrange' s definition plays an important role in his general integral theory. Based on a delicate comparison and analysis between the two definitionsthe reasons why Lagrange redefined the complete integral of a first-order partial differential equation are revealed. On the one hand, Lagrange hit upon the new idea to redefine the complete integral when he was inspired by his study on the first-order partial differential equation with the method of variation of constants. While he used this new idea to research the ordinary differential equation, he explained the singular integral successfully. Inspired by his method, Lagrange formally put forward his new concept of the complete integral. On the other hand, his new definition showed his spirit of pursuing the general solution of the partial differential equation.
