Certain situations can be solved exactly by elliptic functions.
We may write the first few elliptic rational functions as:
Have you ever looked into the early history of the theory of elliptic functions?
And what was that weird comment about studying the history of elliptic functions?
One other question on the same subject What do you know about elliptic functions?
What he actually asked me was if I had ever looked at the early history of the theory of elliptic functions.
The set of all elliptic functions which share some two periods form a field.
At that time he worked on Weiershtrass theory of elliptic functions.
His works focus on elliptic functions and complex analysis.
This work led him to write a series of papers on elliptic modular functions.
