  Carl Gustav Jakob Jacobi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacobi suffered a breakdown from overwork in 1843.
Jacobi was also the first mathematician to apply elliptic functions to number theory, for example, proving the polygonal number theorem of Pierre de Fermat.
It was in analytical development that Jacobi’s peculiar power mainly lay, and he made many important contributions of this kind to other departments of mathematics, as a glance at the long list of papers that were published by him in Crelle’s Journal and elsewhere from 1826 onwards will sufficiently indicate.

Jacobi was promoted to full professor in 1832 while at the University of Konigsberg, and pursued his study of partial differential equations of the first order, which led to the publishing of "Structure and Properties of Determinants." He applied these theories to differential equations in Dynamics which again led to another publishing, Lectures in Dynamics.

The motion_equations in rotational_form are integrable only for the three cases of ''the pendulum'', ''the symmetric top in a gravitational_field'', and a ''freely spinning body'', wherein solutions are in terms of elliptic functions.
The Jacobi theta_functions, so frequently applied in the study of hypergeometric_series, were named in his honor.
In his 1835 paper, Jacobi proved the following: :''If a univariate single-value function is periodic, then the ratio_of_the_periods cannot be a real_number, and that such a function cannot have more than two periods.'' Jacobi reduced the general quintic_equation to the form, : x^5 - 10 q^2x = p.

Jacobi invented a functional determinant - now called the Jacobian determinant - which has been of considerable use in later analytical investigations, and was even supportive in the development of quantum mechanics.
He advanced the theory of the configurations of rotating liquid masses by showing that the ellipsoids now known as Jacobi's ellipsoids are figures of equilibrium.
For instance, he introduced elliptic functions into number theory and into the theory of integration, which in turn connected with the theory of differential equations and his own principle of the last multiplier.

The motion equations in rotational form are Jacobi integral integrable only for the three cases of ''the pendulum'', ''the symmetric top in a gravitational field'', and a ''freely spinning body'', wherein solutions are in terms of elliptic functions.
Valuable also are his papers on Abelian transcendents, and his investigations in the number theory theory of numbers, in which latter department he mainly supplements the labours of Karl Gauss K.
Students of Vector (spatial) vector theory often encounter the Jacobi identity, those studying differential equations often encounter the Jacobian determinant, and those working in number theory and cryptography use the Jacobi symbol.

(1740-1814), German poet, elder brother of the philosopher, F. Jacobi (I743I819), was born at Dsseldorf on the 2nd of September 1740.
In this year he made the acquaintance of J. (Vater) Gleim, who, attracted by the young poets Foeiische Versuche (1764), became his warm friend, and a lively literary correspondence ensued between Gleim in Halberstadt and Jacobi in Halle.
In order to have Jacobi near him, Gleim succeeded in procuring for him a prebendal stall at the cathedral of Halberstadt in 1769, and here Jacobi issued a number of anacreontic lyrics and sonnets.
