'''Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi''' (1804-1851) was a prominent and prolific [[German]] [[mathematician]] best known for his work on [[elliptic function]]s. 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 equation]]s, and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in [[quantum mechanics]] is named after him.
