Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

Fricke denotes tau_4(omega) the unique period one one-to-one function on polygon T_4 (all omega with real part absolute value less than one-half and above circles with radius one-quarter centered at one-quarter and minus one-quarter) whose value at zero is zero, at one-half is minus one-half and at infinity is infinity. See page 373 equation (11) and paragraph before it.
