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

The French Academy of Sciences awarded him the Prix Binoux for 1913.

He was appointed to the chair of applied mathematics at the University of Nancy upon the death of Émile Léonard Mathieu in 1890. From 1902 until his death in 1914, Molk was the leader and editor-in-chief of the publication of a French encyclopedia of pure and applied mathematical sciences based upon Klein's encyclopedia. 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. Among the noteworthy contributors are: Paul Appell, Felix Klein, Jacques Hadamard, David Hilbert, Émile Borel, Paul Montel, Maurice Fréchet, Édouard Goursat, Ernst Zermelo, Ernst Steinitz, Arthur Schoenflies, Philipp Furtwängler, Carl Runge, Vilfredo Pareto, Ernest Vessiot, Gino Fano, George Darwin, Paul Langevin, Jean Perrin, Karl Schwarzschild, Pierre Boutroux, Edmond Bauer, Max Abraham, Arnold Sommerfeld, Ernest Esclangon, Paul Ehrenfest, and Tatyana Pavlovna Ehrenfest." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
