Hello,
Does anyone know how to calculate the following power serie:
f(a)=sum_n exp(-a*n*n), with a>0 a real number and n natural number
from 0 to +infty.

I need the analytic expression of this serie. It seems to be a
approximation of the gaussian integral which is easy to calculate.

Look up elliptic modular functions.
