Elliptic Functions

Elliptic Functions: A Primer defines and describes what is an elliptic function, attempts to have a more elementary approach to them, and drastically reduce the complications of its classic formulae; from which the book proceeds to a more detailed study of the subject while being reasonably complete in itself. The book squarely faces the situation and acknowledges the history of the subject through the use of twelve allied functions instead of the three Jacobian functions and includes its applications for double periodicity, lattices, multiples and sub-multiple periods, as well as many others in trigonometry. Aimed especially towards but not limited to young mathematicians and undergraduates alike, the text intends to have its readers acquainted on elliptic functions, pass on to a study in Jacobian elliptic functions, and bring a theory of the complex plane back to popularity.
