    Jacobi Theta Functions

    Definition

    The Jacobi theta functions are the elliptic analogs of the exponential function, and may be used to express the Jacobi elliptic functions. The theta functions are quasi-doubly periodic, and are most commonly denoted ϑ_n(z, q) in modern texts, although the notations Θ_n(z, q) and θ_n(z, q) are sometimes also used. Whittaker and Watson gives a table summarizing notations used by various earlier writers. The theta functions are given in the Wolfram Language by EllipticTheta[n, z, q], and their derivatives are given by EllipticThetaPrime[n, z, q]. The translational partition function for an ideal gas can be derived using elliptic theta functions.
