TITLE: Quintic polynomial solution by Jacobi Theta function.
QUESTION [14 upvotes]: Does someone have a good and rigorous reference for the solution of quintic ploynomial equation with Jacobi Theta function, in English?
Mathworld and Wikipedia don't give a good English reference, at least from what I skimmed over.

REPLY [13 votes]: There's also a very nice, modern exposition by Mark L. Green:  On the analytic solution of the equation of fifth degree, Compositio Mathematica 37 (1978), 233–241.  A pdf of the paper is available online:  http://www.numdam.org/item?id=CM_1978__37_3_233_0
