Ed Pegg had me snooping in http://functions.wolfram.com/EllipticFunctions/DedekindEta/ [...]
Could anyone make the pdf available? WRI managed to break the download mechanism: after entering email, name, etc, enabling javascript and cookies, trying two different browsers, I get: nothing. These people need a new brain implant.
Even just trying to read the formulas is tremendously frustrating. Instead of just listing the $**%@! forumlas, their is a hierarchy of clicks necessary to see anything -- making it a huge hassle if you just want to compare two formulas in different parts of the hierarchy. Frequently two clicks are necessary, the first click getting you to a page with virtually no new information. And the most basic formulas for Dedekind eta, which is that its 24th power is equal to Weierstrass's modular discriminant function (up to a constant multiplier), and is also equal to Euler's phi function (ditto), are absent. (Though in fairness, there *are* several formulas for eta^24 that don't mention these facts explicitly.) --Dan _____________________________________________________________________ "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that certain je ne sais quoi." --Peter Schickele
