Elliptic Functions and Elliptic Integrals (Translations of Mathematical Monographs) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Devoted to the geometry and arithmetic of elliptic curves and to elliptic functions with applications to algebra and number theory. Includes modern interpretations of some famous classical algebraic theorems such as Abel's theorem on the lemniscate and Hermite's solution of the fifth degree equation by means of theta functions. Topics include geometry of cubic curves; elliptic functions; arcs of curves and elliptic integrals; algebraic equations; and theta functions and solutions of quintic equations. Only the standard one-year courses of algebra and analysis are assumed as prerequisites. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
