대수적 함수와 아벨적분
When I was a student, abelian functions were, as an effect of the Jacobian tradition, considered the uncontested summit of mathematics and each of us was ambitious to make progress in this field. And now? The younger generation hardly knows abelian functions.
How did this happen? In mathematics, as in other sciences, the same processes can be observed again and again. First, new questions arise, for internal or external reasons, and draw researchers away from the old questions. And the old questions, just because they have been worked on so much, need ever more comprehensive study for their mastery. This is unpleasant, and so one is glad to turn to problems that have been less developed and therefore require less foreknowledge - even if it is only a matter of axiomatics, or set theory, or some such thing.

\(\int_0^x{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}}dx+\int_0^y{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}}dx = \int_0^{x\sqrt{1-y^2}+y\sqrt{1-x^2}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}}dx \)
