elliptic integral

Math, calculus. This one took 2 minutes. It shouldn't. WolframLang

has something to do with elliptic integral.

Elliptic function is one of the special function i first encountered back in around 1992 when studying calculus. Never understood it.

• Math, calculus. Elliptic integral.
• They are mysterious. It began as finding the arc length of ellipse.
• Then mathematician realized there is no closed form for the integral.
• Then, it became something important in complex analysis called elliptic functions, with the very interesting double periodicy.
• And became a major advanced study called Hyperelliptic functions and Modular form.
• Heavy to do with algebraic geometry and number theory.

• Elliptic integral
• Elliptic function
• Hyperelliptic curve
• Modular form

Another is Gamma function

another is Hypergeometric function

• Gamma function
• Hypergeometric function
