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.

> 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.
