Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi (1804-1851) was a prominent and prolific German mathematician best known for his work on elliptic functions. Jacobi was described by mathematical historian E.T. Bell as "The Great Algorist" for his contributions to [[analysis]].<ref>E.T. Bell, "Men of Mathematics", at 327 (1937).</ref> He is credited with advancing differential equations, and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in [[quantum mechanics]] is named after him.

Jacobi was [[homeschooled]] until the age 12, during which he was taught the classics and mathematics by one of his maternal uncles.<ref>''Id.'' at 327.</ref>
