►He has recently carried out research on non-linear dynamics of Bose–Einstein condensates that served
to motivate his interest in
elliptic functions.
Older work on the scattering theory of the atomic Coulomb problem led
to the discovery of new classes of orthogonal polynomials
relating to the spectral theory of Schrödinger operators, and new uses of old ones: this work was strongly motivated by his original ownership of a 1964 hard copy printing of the original
AMS 55 NBS Handbook of Mathematical Functions.

Open Source Collections and Systems.
These are collections of software (e.g. libraries) or interactive systems of
a somewhat broad scope. Contents may be adapted from research software or may
be contributed by project participants who donate their services to the project.
The software is made freely available to the public, typically in source code form.
While formal support of the collection may not be provided by its developers,
within active projects there is often a core group who
donate time to consider bug reports and make updates to the collection.

Commercial Software.
Such software ranges from a collection of reusable software
parts (e.g., a library) to fully functional interactive computing environments
with an associated computing language. Such software is usually professionally
developed, tested, and maintained to high standards. It is available for purchase,
often with accompanying updates and consulting support.

►As in §
20.11(ii), the modulus
of
elliptic integrals (§
19.2(ii)),
Jacobian elliptic functions (§
22.2), and Weierstrass
elliptic functions (§
23.6(ii)) can be expanded in
-series via (
20.9.1).
However, in this case
is no longer regarded as an independent complex variable within the unit circle, because
is
related to the variable
of the theta
functions via (
20.9.2).
