Theta functions, elliptic functions and pi

This book presents several results on elliptic functions and Pi, using Jacobi's triple product identity as a tool to show suprising connections between different topics within number theory such as theta functions, Eisenstein series, the Dedekind delta function, and Ramanujan's work on Pi. The included exercises make it ideal for both classroom use and self-study.
