Theta-functions implemented as trigonometric series.
Small and simple library for computing values of Theta functions. They're the special functions of two variables. Described very well at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_function. Library exports four theta-functions and a small helper to calculate their second parameter. Theta functions are functions of Complex variables, FYI.

Interface summary
thetaN n q u
where N is a number from 1 to 4, n
is a quantization factor, q
is a theta-functions special parameter, and u
is an actual argument of function.
Parameter q
should be calculated with the helper function qpar
, which accepts real numbers as argument:
qpar tau
qpar itself returns Complex value. This helper is used to draw the library closer to the definition of theta-functions provided in the books.
Constraints
Never call theta1..4 with u
> pi. Theta-functions are raising very rapidly (maybe it's because of trigonometric series representing them), so with large values of argument they overflow badly and return incorrect results.
