Description

Book Synopsis
This 2006 treatment of Jacobi elliptic functions seeks to answer the fascinating question: 'what would the treatment of elliptic functions have been like if Abel had developed the ideas, rather than Jacobi?' A rich variety of applications of the elliptic and related functions are also presented.

Trade Review
'This solid text is a good place to start when working with elliptic functions and it is the sort of book that you will keep coming back to as reference text.' Mathematics Today
