How to find the inverse of elliptic function of first kind in term of angle of integration $\varphi$? This link say that Jacobi amplitude $\varphi = \text{am}(u)$ gives the value of angle $\varphi$. How do I expand the Jacobi amplitude in series so that I can numerically calculate the angle $\varphi$ as function of $u$.

There's Fourier expansion:

$$\operatorname{am} (u,k)= \frac{\pi u}{2K}+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\sin \frac{n\pi u}{K}}{n\cosh \frac{n\pi K'}{K}} $$

where $K\equiv K(k)=F \left( \frac{\pi}{2},k \right)$ and $K'\equiv K(\sqrt{1-k^2})$.

By the ways, its better to use symbolic software to ease your work.

For example, in Mathematica

JacobiAmplitude[u,m]

for $\operatorname{am} (u,\sqrt{m})$
