Jules Molk

Jules Molk (8 December 1857 in Strasbourg, France – 7 May 1914 in Nancy) was a French mathematician who worked on elliptic functions.

It was a translation of the volumes in German and required the collaboration of many mathematicians and theoretical physicists from France, Germany, and several other European countries.

It was intended as an erudite and sometimes controversial re-reading of the German edition, by a group of scholars brought together by Jules Molk, professor of rational mechanics at the University of Nancy.

He was familiar with the scientific literature in Germany having lived in Berlin between 1880 and 1884 and having written a thesis focused on an overview of the German breakthroughs in Mathematics.

The first volumes of this French edition appeared in 1908, with the help of ... Teubner and Gauthier Villars, and the last in 1916, two years after the death of Jules Molk.
