%0 Journal Article %T Introducing elliptic, an R Package for Elliptic and Modular Functions %A Robin K.S. Hankin %J Journal of Statistical Software %D 2006 %I University of California, Los Angeles %X This paper introduces the elliptic package of R routines, for numerical calculation of elliptic and related functions. Elliptic functions furnish interesting and instructive examples of many ideas of complex analysis, and the package illustrates these numerically and visually. A statistical application in fluid mechanics is presented. %K elliptic functions %K modular functions %K Weierstrass elliptic functions %K visualization %U http://www.jstatsoft.org/v15/i07/paper
