Find the elliptic modulus m corresponding to an elliptic curve specified by its Weierstrass invariants:
modulus[{g2_, g3_}] := Module[{e1, e2, e3},
e1 = WeierstrassE1[{g2, g3}];
e2 = WeierstrassE2[{g2, g3}];
e3 = WeierstrassE3[{g2, g3}];
(e2 - e3) / (e1 - e3)]m = modulus[{11., 7}]Compute the modulus using an alternative formula:
modulus2[{g2_, g3_}] := Module[{q, w1, w3},
w1 = WeierstrassHalfPeriodW1[{g2, g3}];
w3 = WeierstrassHalfPeriodW3[{g2, g3}];
q = Exp[I Pi w3 / w1];

Values of WeierstrassP at its half-periods are the roots of the defining polynomial:
g2 = 8;g3 = -4.0;x /. NSolve[4x^3 - x g2 - g3 == 0, x]{WeierstrassE1[{g2, g3}], WeierstrassE2[{g2, g3}], WeierstrassE3[{g2, g3}]}Values of WeierstrassP at its half-periods are not linearly independent:
