  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay's_trisecant_identity

    The name "trisecant identity" refers to the geometric interpretation given by Mumford (1984, p.3.219), who used it to show that the Kummer variety of a genus g Riemann surface, given by the image of the map from the Jacobian to projective space of dimension induced by theta functions of order 2, has a 4-dimensional space of trisecants.

  4. Pythagorean trigonometric identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_trigonometric...

    By the periodicity identities we can say if the formula is true for −π < θ ≤ π then it is true for all real θ. Next we prove the identity in the range ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ < θ ≤ π. To do this we let t = θ − ⁠ π / 2 ⁠, t will now be in the range 0 < t ≤ π/2. We can then make use of squared versions of some basic shift identities ...

  5. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  6. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  7. Ramanujan theta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan_theta_function

    In mathematics, particularly q-analog theory, the Ramanujan theta function generalizes the form of the Jacobi theta functions, while capturing their general properties. In particular, the Jacobi triple product takes on a particularly elegant form when written in terms of the Ramanujan theta. The function is named after mathematician Srinivasa ...

    Harvard tied with Dartmouth and Columbia atop the conference at 5-2 this season, but scored head-to-head wins over both teams. Officially, the Ivy League recognized all three teams as co-champions.

  9. Riemann–Siegel theta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Siegel_theta...

    In mathematics, the Riemann–Siegel theta function is defined in terms of the gamma function as = ⁡ ((+)) ⁡for real values of t.Here the argument is chosen in such a way that a continuous function is obtained and () = holds, i.e., in the same way that the principal branch of the log-gamma function is defined.
