WeierstrassP

WeierstrassP[u, {g2, g3}]
gives the Weierstrass elliptic function P(u;g_2,g_3).
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • P(u;g_2,g_3) gives the value of x for which .
  • For certain special arguments, WeierstrassP automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • WeierstrassP can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
