EllipticTheta

  • EllipticTheta[ a , u , q ] gives the theta function ().
  • Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).
  • , , , .
  • See Section 3.2.11 for a discussion of argument conventions for elliptic and related functions.
  • See the Mathematica book: Section 3.2.11.
  • See also: ModularLambda, DedekindEta, KleinInvariantJ.

    Further Examples

    The third argument of EllipticTheta should be a complex number with absolute value less than 1. This argument is the nome corresponding to the modulus employed by most other elliptic functions. See EllipticNomeQ.
