Like trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine, theta functions
have a repeating pattern, but the pattern is much more complex and
subtle than a simple sine curve. Theta functions are also
"super-symmetric," meaning that if a specific type of mathematical
function called a Moebius transformation is applied to the functions,
they turn into themselves. Because they are so symmetric these theta
functions are useful in many types of mathematics and physics, including
string theory.

mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued
fractions.

> In finance, the rule of 72, the rule of 70 and the rule of 69 are
methods for estimating an investment's doubling time. The rule number is
divided by the interest percentage per period to obtain the approximate
number of periods (usually years) required for doubling. Although
scientific calculators and spreadsheet programs have functions to find
the accurate doubling time, the rules are useful for mental calculations
and when only a basic calculator is available.[1]
> These rules apply to exponential growth and are therefore used for
compound interest as opposed to simple interest calculations. They can
also be used for decay to obtain a halving time. The choice of number is
mostly a matter of preference, 69 is more accurate for continuous
compounding, while 72 works well in common interest situations and is
more easily divisible.
