meromorphic functions, that satisfy two periodicity conditions", I suggest "elliptic functions are doubly periodic meromorphic functions", or "elliptic functions are meromorphic functions which are also doubly periodic", etc. In the definition, it can say something like "Elliptic functions are complex functions which are doubly periodic and meromorphic. That is, <insert definitions of doubly periodic and meromorphic: -->

The article states: "Historically, elliptic functions were first discovered by Carl Gustav Jacobi..." Well, whoever wrote this should definitely read the article "Niels Henrik Abel" by G.Mittag-Leffler( who sure knew what he was talking about!), in which it is proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that

in the references is eccentric. Better for example to go to Whittaker & Watson, though their notation is not what the modern standard is (same for all the older books). Tannery and Molk is the classic reference; book by Weber. But the old books are out of print, I suppose - more's the pity.

For more experienced editors: it seems to me that the description and definition of elliptic functions can be simplified and made more explicit by simply saying that they are (defined as) doubly periodic meromorphic functions. In particular, rather than "elliptic functions are a special kind of

Different layman question: why is multiplication denoted by a space, instead of using the multiplication symbol or the middle dot (× or · respectively, both listed as common in the wiki article on multiplication)? a' = p·a + q·b in complex analysis context (as opposed to algebraic context) is

Layman question. Should a' = p a + q b and b' = r a + q b instead read as a' = p a + q b and b' = r a + s b? It seems odd to calculate s and then throw it out. It also seems to leave a degree of freedom, which allows for arbitrary a' and b'.

Really fundamental in the development of analysis, but the article does not yet reflect this. Only just start in my view, but feel free to adjust the rating and replace this comment.
