FORMULA
Expansion of 1 - lambda(tau) = lambda( -1 / tau) in powers of q = exp(pi i tau).
Expansion of (eta(q^4) * eta(q)^2 / eta(q^2)^3)^8 in powers of q.
Expansion of (phi(-q) / phi(q))^4 = (phi(-q) / phi(-q^2))^8 = (phi(-q^2) / phi(q))^8 = (f(-q) / f(q))^8 = (chi(-q) / chi(q))^8 = (psi(-q) / psi(q))^8 in powers of q where phi(), psi(), chi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions.
