Modular EquationThe modular equation of degree gives an algebraic connection of the form
 | (1) |
between the Transcendental Complete Elliptic Integrals of the FirstKind with moduli and . When and satisfy a modular equation, arelationship of the form

exists, and is called the Modular Function Multiplier. In general, if is an Odd Prime, then themodular equation is given by
 | (3) |
where
 | (4) |
is a Elliptic Lambda Function, and
 | (5) |
(Borwein and Borwein 1987, p. 126). An Elliptic Integral identity gives
 | (6) |
so the modular equation of degree 2 is
 | (7) |
which can be written as

A few low order modular equations written in terms of and areIn terms of and ,

Here, are Theta Functions.
A modular equation of degree for can be obtained by iterating the equation for . Modular equationsfor Prime from 3 to 23 are given in Borwein and Borwein (1987).
