雅可比椭圆函数

E. Copson
在1892年撰写的《椭圆函数》的序言中，A. G.格林希尔抱怨说，虽然这门学科当时已经有近70年的历史了，但它还没有进入英国数学研究的普通课程。50年后，在伦敦数学学会的一次演讲中，E. H.内维尔宣布，虽然他的同时代人在剑桥三十五年前会把元素的理论雅可比椭圆函数作为一个主题，每个本科生应该研究，现在的时间已经到来时，这一主题在很大程度上被忽视了。他声称，雅可比椭圆函数的研究被引入函数的不自然方式扼杀了，每一个一般原则都被缺乏对称性和众多特殊公式所扼杀。这本书正在审查是他试图恢复雅可比函数，以其适当的地方，在大学课程。雅可比椭圆函数埃里克哈罗德内维尔。Pp. xv + 332.（牛津：克拉伦登出版社;伦敦：牛津大学出版社，1944年）25块net.
IN the preface to his "Elliptic Functions", written in 1892, Prof. A. G. Greenhill complained that, although the subject was then nearly seventy years old, it had not made its way into the ordinary curriculum of mathematical study in Great Britain. Fifty years later, in a lecture to the London Mathematical Society, Prof. E. H. Neville declared that, while his contemporaries at Cambridge thirty-five years ago would have regarded the elements of the theory of Jacobian elliptic functions as a subject which every undergraduate should study, the time had now come when the subject was largely neglected. He claimed that the study of Jacobian elliptic functions was being killed by the unnatural way in which the functions were introduced, and that every general principle was stifled by the lack of symmetry and the multitude of special formulae. The book under review is his attempt to restore the Jacobian functions to their proper place in a university curriculum.Jacobian Elliptic FunctionsBy Eric Harold Neville. Pp. xv + 332.
