Elliptic Integrals and Elliptic Functions

Takashi TAKEBE is a professor at the Faculty of Mathematics, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow. He studies integrable systems in mathematical physics, especially integrable nonlinear differential equations, their connection with complex analysis and solvable lattice models in statistical mechanics related to elliptic R-matrices.

“This book is intended to present various aspects of the theory of elliptic integrals and elliptic functions, and provides definitions, theorems, proofs, examples and applications. … The book is well written and organized in a clear way. It includes many figures and graphs helpful in explaining the material in each chapter of the book.” (Faitori Omer Salem, zbMATH 1542.33001, 2024)
