  Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Jacobi's veiled message was that the adepts of this new cultural phenomenon had failed to escape the rationalism of the philosophers, since the rebellious new humanism they advocated made sense only on the presupposition that the philosophers' conception of reality was the right one.
Jacobi rejects it off-hand on the ground that, as a matter of fact, a subject could not be aware of himself — aware also, therefore, of the alleged subjectivity of some of his representations — without defining his ‘self’ in opposition to some admittedly external object, i.e.
Jacobi responded with a pamphlet of his own (Jacobi, 1782) in which he defended Müller's position — not because he had any sympathy for Catholicism, or because he was opposed to secularism, but because he thought that the Popes' spiritual despotism was much to be preferred to the secular, allegedly enlightened, despotism of the princes.

 Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacobi suffered a breakdown from overwork in 1843.
Jacobi is buried at a cemetery in the Kreuzberg section of Berlin, the Friedhof II der Jerusalems- und Neuen Kirchengemeinde (61 Baruther Street).
Jacobi was also the first mathematician to apply elliptic functions to number theory, for example, proving the 2 square and four-square theorems of Pierre de Fermat.

 Jacobi identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jacobi identity is satisfied by the multiplication (bracket) operation on Lie algebras and Lie rings and these provide the majority of examples of operations satisfying the Jacobi identity in common use.
Thus, the Jacobi identity for Lie algebras simply becomes the assertion that the action of any element on the algebra is a derivation.
In analytical mechanics, Jacobi identity is satisfied by Poisson brackets, while in quantum mechanics it is satisfied by operator commutators.

Jacobi was also the first mathematician to apply elliptic functions to number theory, for example, proving the polygonal number theorem of Pierre de Fermat.
His investigations in elliptic functions, the theory of which he established upon quite a new basis, and more particularly his development of the theta function, as given in his great treatise Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum (Königsberg, 1829), and in later papers in Crelle's Journal, constitute his grandest analytical discoveries.
He was one of the early founders of the theory of determinants; in particular, he invented the functional determinant formed of the n2 differential coefficients of n given functions of n independent variables, which now bears his name (Jacobian), and which has played an important part in many analytical investigations.

 Symbolic Test of the Jacobi Identity for Given Generalized 'Poisson' Bracket -- from Mathematica Information Center
The problem is to evaluate single and nested arbitrary generalized Poisson brackets and the cyclic sum of these in order to test the Jacobi identity on a given state space for systems described in terms of discrete or of continuous variables.
The Jacobi identity has to be fulfilled for Poisson brackets consistently describing the reversible dynamics of physical systems as desired, e.g., within the framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics [1-3].

The Jacobian can be interpreted as a kind of generalized Poisson bracket: it is skew-symmetric with respect to $f$, $g$ and $h$; it is a derivation of the algebra of smooth functions on ${\Bbb R}^3$, i.e., the Leibniz rule is verified in each argument.
In fact, in the usual Poisson formulation, the Jacobi identity is the infinitesimal form of Poisson theorem which states that the bracket of two integrals of motion is also an integral of motion.
\end{theorem} For the case $n=2$, the FI is Jacobi identity and one recovers the usual definition of Poisson manifold.

They obtained this identity by computing asymptotics for the determinants of finite rank reductions of minors of Toeplitz matrices in two different ways, spanning different branches of mathematics: "Toeplitz minors", J.Combinatorial Theory Ser.
We show that this identity is essentially a differentiated version of the Jacobi-Trudi identity, under the action of a differential operator on symmetric functions reminiscent of vertex operators.

From this finite version we are able to obtain new polynomial versions of Jacobi's identity and other fundamental identities in the theory of partitions and q-series, like Lebesgue's identity.
The asymptotic methods and the shape of 38 of the 40 identities suggest the influence of the 5-dissection of the generating function for the crank of partitions.
We give a generalization of an identity of Rogers which was used by Rogers and later by Bressoud to prove some of Ramanujan's 40 identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions.

Jacobiator = 1-chain which replaces the Jacobi identity when we go from Lie algebras to Lie 2-algebras.
The Jacobi identity says the bracket is a derivation of itself, which is an infinitesimal way of saying that the flow generated by a vector field, acting as an operation on vector fields, preserves the Lie bracket!
Similarly, as soon as we know the Jacobi identity, we know the Lie bracket operation on vector fields is preserved by small diffeomorphisms, by the argument outlined in the body of this Week.

The Jacobi identity is the name for the following equation:
[X,[Y,Z]]+[Y,[Z,X]]+[Z,[X,Y]]=0 for all X,Y,Z. Lie algebras are the primary example of an algebra which satisfies the Jacobi identity.
But note that an algebra can satisfy the Jacobi identity but yet not be anticommutative.

 Graphical Discovery of a New Identity for Jacobi Polynomials -- from Mathematica Information Center
During the summer of 1995 the authors engaged in an undergraduate research program that investigated various conjectures about orthogonal polynomials.
While exploring the grahic capabilities of Mathematica, we generated Figure 1, which shows, on a single set of axes, the fifth-degree Jacobi polynomials, for beta = 0.9 and alpha taking the values 0, 1, 2,..., 6.
We observed that the curves in the figure appear to intersect at extrema, but our advisors were skeptical about whether this actually happened.

The vector space of left-invariant vector fields on a Lie group is closed under this operation and is therefore a finite dimensional Lie algebra.
One may alternatively think of the underlying vector space of the Lie algebra belonging to a Lie group as the tangent space at the group's identity element.
The tangent space at the identity matrix may be identified with the space of all real n-by-''n'' matrices with trace 0, and the Lie algebra structure coming from the Lie group coincides with the one arising from commutators of matrix multiplication.

We formulated fundamental associativity, commutativity and generalized rationality properties of intertwining operator algebras in terms of both complex and formal variables, and we formulated and proved basic implications among these axioms.
In the theory of vertex operator algebras, the Jacobi identity is an analogue of the Lie algebra Jacobi identity and plays a particularly important role.
For intertwining operator algebras, it is natural to ask whether there is also a Jacobi identity, and we found such a Jacobi identity for intertwining operator algebras.
