where the logarithms are

log (fx — idv) = log Vyur + v 2 — i tan -1 —, &c.,

and the tan -1 denotes always an arc between the limits — + ^tt. Hence, if 
- = oo , —j = 0, the value is

Hence finally

64. We have a, =logq, negative; hence taking r such that log q log r = we 
have a/ = logr, also negative; and r, like q, is positive and less than 1. We consider 
the theta-functions which depend on r in the same manner that the original functions 
did on q, say these are

functions, which I now call A (u, q), B (u, q), C (u, q), D (u, q), we write for u, we

obtain the same infinite products which present themselves in the expressions of the 
new functions A (u, r), &c., only with a different condition as to the limits; we have
