Review text

In 1826, a paper entitled \textit{Mémoire sur une propriété générale d'une classe très étendue de fonctions transcendantes} was submitted by Niels Henrik Abel to the Paris Academy of Sciences. The last-mentioned research contains ``a number of results that fall under the rubric Abel's theorem.\N\NThe present paper is devoted to ``explore one of the more underappreciated versions of Abel's theorem and its connection to the genus of the associated Riemann surface. That is, the main attention is given to three Abel's formulas from his paper given above (abelian integrals). The first two formulas are considered in terms of symbolic computation, and their connection to residues and partial fractions are explained. ``The third formula arises from the first two and is related to the genus and lattice points in the Newton polygon.\N\NThis paper contains the following main sections:\N\begin{itemize}\N\item {Abel's Paris memoir}.\N\item {Our approach to Abel's formulas}.\N\item {Abel's formula for \(dv\)}.\N\item {Abel's formula for \(v\)}.\N\item {Abel's formula for \(\gamma\)}.\N\item {Other versions of Abel's theorem}.\N\item {Appendix A. How Abel proved his formulas for \(dv\) and \(v\)}.\N\end{itemize}
