Abstract

"The concept of elliptic functions appeared at 19th century as inversion of some integrals of geometric and physical origin. They (and auxiliary in this context modular objects) were subject of comprehensive study during two consecutive years. These higher transcendental functions are important tools in the Number Theory in addition to the Geometry and Physics. At the other hand, they are the starting point for many branches of Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometries."
