  2. Theta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta

    Theta (UK: / ˈ θ iː t ə /, US: / ˈ θ eɪ t ə /) uppercase Θ or ϴ; lowercase θ [note 1] or ϑ; Ancient Greek: θῆτα thē̂ta [tʰɛ̂ːta]; Modern: θήτα thī́ta) is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet, derived from the Phoenician letter Teth 𐤈.

  3. Theta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_function

    There are several closely related functions called Jacobi theta functions, and many different and incompatible systems of notation for them. One Jacobi theta function (named after Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi) is a function defined for two complex variables z and τ, where z can be any complex number and τ is the half-period ratio, confined to the upper half-plane, which means it has a positive ...

    The mathematics convention. Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as typically used: radial distance r, azimuthal angle θ, and polar angle φ. + The meanings of θ and φ have been swapped—compared to the physics convention. The 'south'-direction x-axis is depicted but the 'north'-direction x-axis is not.

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

  7. Theta constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_constant

    In mathematics, a theta constant or Thetanullwert' (German for theta zero value; plural Thetanullwerte) is the restriction θ m (τ) = θ m (τ,0) of a theta function θ m (τ,z) with rational characteristic m to z = 0.

    Using the squeeze theorem, [4] we can prove that ⁡ =, which is a formal restatement of the approximation ⁡ for small values of θ.. A more careful application of the squeeze theorem proves that ⁡ =, from which we conclude that ⁡ for small values of θ.
