First printing of a key memoir in the establishment of "Elliptic Functions". The acknowledged founders of the theory of "Elliptic Functions" are Abel and Jacobi. Both had arrived at the key idea of working with inverse functions of the elliptic integrals, an idea Abel had since 1823. Jacoby next gave proof of the results he had published in 1827 ( a paper published in "Astronomische Nachrichten" in several articles in Crelle's Journal for the years 1828-30, -the offered paper is one of these."The most celebrated results of his research were those in elliptic functions, published in 1829, which brought him the praise of Legendre."(Boyer). The offred paper was incorporated in Jcobi's main work "Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum", published 1829.

First printing of Shannon's paper on lower bounds to error probability. This was his "final effort to establish tight upper and lower bounds on error probability for the DMC. Earlier, Robert Fano [22] had discovered, but not completely proved, the sphere-packing lower bound on error probability. In [20], [21], the sphere-packing bound was proven rigorously, and another lower bound on error probability was established which was stronger at low data rates. The proof of the sphere-packing bound given here was quite complicated; it was later proven in a simpler way." (Gallager, Claude E. Shannon: A Retrospective on His Life, Work, and Impact, 2001, Pp. 2691-2)."Claude E. Shannon invented information theory and provided the concepts, insights, and mathematical formulations that now form the basis for modern communication technology. In a surprisingly large number of ways, he enabled the information age."(Ibid.).The issue contain the following papers:Gold, E.
