Abstract
Jacobi's function has numerous applications in mathematics and computer science; a naive algorithm allows the computation of , for verifying certain conditions, with precision in bit operations, where denotes the number of operations needed to multiply two complex -bit numbers. We generalize an algorithm which computes specific values of the function (the \textit{theta-constants}) in asymptotically faster time; this gives us an algorithm to compute with precision in bit operations, for any and reduced using the quasi-periodicity of .
