Carl Jacobi came from a Jewish family but he was given the French style name Jacques Simon at birth. His father, Simon Jacobi, was a banker and his family were prosperous. Carl was the second son of the family, the eldest being Moritz Jacobi who eventually became a famous physicist. Moritz Jacobi has an entry in his own right in [1]. There was a sister, Therese Jacobi, and a third brother, Eduard Jacobi, who was younger than Carl. Eduard did not pursue an academic career, but followed instead his father's profession as a banker. Jacobi's early education was given by an uncle on his mother's side, and then, just before his twelfth birthday, Jacobi entered the Gymnasium in Potsdam. He had been well taught by his uncle and he had remarkable talents so in 1817, while still in his first year of schooling, he was put into the final year class. This meant that by the end of the academic year 1816-17 he was still only 12 years old yet he had reached the necessary standard to enter university. The University of Berlin, however, did not accept students below the age of 16, so Jacobi had to remain in the same class at the Gymnasium in Potsdam until the spring of 1821. Of course, Jacobi pressed on with his academic studies despite remaining in the same class at school.

Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi INGLESES OFENDIDOS POR ALEMO
Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi nasceu na Alemanha. Seu pai era um próspero banqueiro, nunca tendo lhe faltado nada. Obteve boa instrução na Universidade de Berlim, concentrando-se em Filosofia e Matemática à qual acabou por dedicar-se inteiramente. Era professor nato e gostava de transmitir suas idéias. Na mesma época que Gauss e Abel, Jacobi desenvolveu a teoria sobre as funções elíticas. Tendo conhecimento de que Abel havia entregue a Cauchy alguns ,artigos sobre o assunto, Jacobi escreveu ao mestre francês perguntando por eles na esperança de obter informações que confirmassem sua descoberta. Cauchy, entretanto, tinha perdido os escritos de Abel. Seu tratado clássico "Fundamentos da Nova Teoria das Funções Elíticas" apareceu em 1829, ano da morte de Abel, e mereceu elogios até de Legendre. Em 1834 provou que se uma função unívoca de uma variável é duplamente periódica, a razão entre os períodos não pode ser real e é impossível que ela tenha mais de dois períodos distintos. A ele também devemos o estudo das "funções theta de Jacobi", funções inteiras das quais as elíticas são quocientes. Até essa época, a teoria dos determinantes aparecia nos trabalhos de alguns matemáticos como Leibniz, Cramer e Lagrange, mas com idéias esporádicas. O desenvolvimento contínuo dessa teoria teve lugar somente no século XI X e seu principal colaborador foi Jacobi, além de Cauchy, construindo algoritmos, dando regras práticas com grande preocupação pelas notações de determinantes e em 1829 usou pela primeira vez os "jacobianos", determinantes especiais análogos para funções de várias variáveis, do quociente diferencial de uma função de uma variável. Através deles conseguiu provar o teorema dos quatro quadrados de Fermat-Lagrange e também com a utilização dos jacobianos conseguiu saber quando uma coleção de funções é independente.

JAKOBI KARL GUSTAV JAKOV ( Jacobi Carl Gustav Jakob ) Nemaèki matematièar (1804-1851) Nepokoran da bi se priklonio tradicionalnoj nastavi, on neposredno prouèava dela velikih matematièara, posebno Ojlera i Lagranža. Poèev od 1821 posveæuje se matematici na univerzitetu u Berlinu gde 1825 podržava jedan stav koji se odnosi na neke Lagranžove formule.Nadahnut citanjem Le Žandrovog (Le Gendre Adrien-Marie, 1752-1883) dela Vežbe iz integralnog raèuna (1816-1817) piše dva pisma o svojim otkriæima koja se odnose na eliptièke funkcije astronomu Šumaheru (Heinrich Christian Schumaher, 1780-1850), koja je on objavio u svom dnevniku “Astronomske vesti” (Astronomische Nachrichten). U isto vreme Jakobi zapoèinje nauènu prepisku sa Ležandrom koja se odnosi pre svega na eliptièke funkcije i koja æe trajati do Ležandrove smrti. Kao profesor univerziteta u Keninsbergu , Jakobi je u vezi sa astronom Beselom (Friedrch Bessel, 1784-1846). Objavljivanje Abelovog dela Istraživanja eliptiènih funkcija podstaklo je Jakobija da ubrza rad pa je 1829 objavio posebnu raspravu Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum (Nove osnove teorije eliptièkih funkcija) koja daje njegove nazive i oznake novih funkcija. Ovo delo sadrži samo elementarni deo njegovih istraživanja o eliptièkim funkcijama i više rasprava. Nadahnut velikom Abelovom teoremom, èiji je pravi zanaèaj prvi uvideo. Jakobi uvodi funkcije više promenjivih koje æe od tada zvati Abelovim. Veæi deo njegovih radova posveæen je transformaciji integrala, teoriji obiènih I parcijalnih diferencijalnih jednaèina. Pored ovih istraživanja, poznat je njegov doprinos raèunu varijacija, dinamici èvrstih tela, nebeskoj mehanici: problem tri tela, perturbacija planeta.

Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi
Carl Jacobi's early education was given by an uncle on his mother's side. When he was 11, he entered the Gymnasium in Potsdam. He was so advanced that while still in his first year of schooling, he was put into the final year class. This meant that he was still only 12 years old when he had reached the necessary standard to enter a university. However the University of Berlin did not accept students below the age of 16, so Jacobi had to remain in the same class at the Gymnasium in Potsdam until then. Of course, Jacobi pressed on with his academic studies despite remaining in the same class at school. He received the highest awards for Latin, Greek and history but it was the study of mathematics which he took furthest. By the time Jacobi left school he had read advanced mathematics texts including those of Euler, and had been undertaking research on his own attempting to solve quintic equations by radicals. Jacobi entered the University of Berlin in 1821 still unsure which topic he would concentrate on. He attended courses in philosophy, classics and mathematics for 2 years before choosing mathematics. Jacobi continued to study on his own, reading the works of Lagrange and other leading mathematicians. By the end of 1824, Jacobi had passed the examinations necessary for him to be able to teach mathematics, Greek, and Latin in secondary schools. Despite being Jewish, he was offered a teaching post at the Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium, one of the leading schools in Berlin.
