Publisher's Synopsis
Elliptische Functionen: Theorie Und Geschichte (1876) is a book written by German mathematician Alfred Enneper. The book provides a comprehensive overview of elliptic functions, a class of complex functions that arise in various areas of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, and mathematical physics. Enneper's book covers the history of elliptic functions, from their origins in the work of Carl Gustav Jacobi and Niels Henrik Abel in the early 19th century to their modern applications in fields such as cryptography and computer science. The book also includes a detailed exposition of the theory of elliptic functions, including their definition, properties, and applications. Enneper's writing is clear and concise, making the book accessible to both students and researchers in mathematics. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory and applications of elliptic functions, and it remains an important reference in the field to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
