    Let \(\tau\) be a complex number with positive imaginary part, and let \(\wp(z|\tau)\) be the Weierstrass function associated to the lattice \[ \{n\pi+m\pi\tau\mid n,m\in\mathbb{Z}\}. \] Let \(q=e^{i\pi\tau}\), and let: \[ \begin{aligned} a(q)&=\sum_{m,n=-\infty}^\infty q^{m^2+mn+n^2} \\ b(q)&=\sum_{m,n=-\infty}^\infty\omega^{m-n} q^{m^2+mn+n^2} \\ c(q)&=\sum_{m,n=-\infty}^\infty q^{m^2+mn+n^2+n+m+\frac13}, \end{aligned} \] where \(\omega=e^{\frac{2\pi i}{3}}\). The author proves: \[ \begin{aligned} &\wp\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\mid\frac{\tau}{2}\right)=a(q)^2,\\ &\wp\left(\frac{\pi\tau}{2}\mid\frac{3\tau}{2}\right)=-\frac13 a(q)^2,\\ &\wp'\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\mid\frac{\tau}{2}\right)=-\frac{8}{3\sqrt{3}}b(q)^3,\\ &\wp'\left(\frac{\pi\tau}{2}\mid\frac{3\tau}{2}\right)=\frac{8}{27 i} c(q)^3.\end{aligned} \]
