Berlin, Georg Reimer, 1859. 4to. No wrappers. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", Bd. 56, 1859. Entire volume offered. Fine and clean. 149-65 pp. [Entire volume: IV, 375, (1) pp.].


First printing of Jacobi's paper (published posthumously) in which Jacobi polynomials was first introduced. Jacobi polynomials (occasionally called hypergeometric polynomials) are a class of classical orthogonal polynomials. The Gegenbauer polynomials, and thus also the Legendre, Zernike and Chebyshev polynomials, are special cases of the Jacobi polynomials.
