A MEMOIR ON THE SINGLE AND DOUBLE THETA-FUNCTIONS.

of the parameters, or say rather of exp. a, exp. h, exp. b, which exponentials cor 
respond to the q of the single theory: viz., in a notation which will be readily 
understood, the constants c, c'", c iv , c v of the even functions are

72. It is convenient for the verification of results and otherwise, to have the 
values of the functions, belonging to small values of exp. (—a), exp. (— b); if to 
avoid fractional exponents we regard these and exp. (— h) as fourth powers, and write 
also 
exp. (— a) = Q 4 , exp. (— h) = R 4 , exp. (— b) = S 4 , 
QR 2 S = A, QR~ 2 S = A', and therefore AA' = Q 2 S 2 , 
then attending only to the lowest powers of Q, S we find without difficulty 
'A, (w') = 1, and therefore also c 0 = 1,
