Some consider him one of the greatest mathematicians of all times. He is responsible for something called elliptic functions. This is hard to explain, but very important to math and

physics.

He applied these functions to number theory. He also contributed to quadratic reciprocity and their is even a symbol, the Jacobi symbol, name after him. He also worked a lot on one of my favorite topics, continued fractions.
