WeierstrassP

  • WeierstrassP[ u , , ] gives the Weierstrass elliptic function .
  • Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).
  • gives the value of for which .
  • See Section 3.2.11 for a discussion of argument conventions for elliptic functions.
  • See the Mathematica book: Section 3.2.11Section 3.2.11.

    Further Examples

    WeierstrassP takes as a second argument the coefficients of the equation of the elliptic curve under consideration (in Weierstrass normal form). If instead we know the periods of the curve, we start by using WeierstrassInvariants.
