Abstract

We derive several modular equations and present their proofs based on concise algebraic computations. In addition, we establish explicit relations and formulas for some parameterizations for the theta functions $\varphi$ and $\psi$ and show some applications of the modular equations to evaluations of the cubic continued fraction and the theta function $\psi$.

Keywords: theta functions, modular equations
