ELLIPTIC FUNCTIONS

Dear Reader,    I welcome you to this blog on elliptic functions. It is aimed at mathematically oriented readers, regardless of their formal education in the subject.The only mathematical preparation that is necessary to read the greater part of it is a sound high school education. The relevant material on elementary algebra, trigonometry and calculus can be easily found in downloadable textbooks readily available on the internet. (They are no longer in copyright. Therefore, downloading them is perfectly legal.)  The few results involving complex functions that need to be known for a perusal of some items can be learnt through self-study, from legally admissible publications available on the internet.  It is not known to me whether this is the first  and the only blog on the internet devoted entirely to elliptic functions. Perhaps it is. Perhaps it is not. What are elliptic functions? I give below an informal definition.  The trigonometric funct...
