Chase was 20 years old when he assisted his distant cousin Frederick Norton Freeman in the founding of Theta Chi Fraternity.

Binaural beats

Alpha-theta brainwave training has also been used successfully for the treatment of addictions.

Charles Hardin

Charles Henry Hardin (1820–1892), one of the eight founders of Beta Theta Pi fraternity

Chester Adgate Congdon

He had membership with the Kitchi Gammi, Northland Country, Commercial and Duluth Boat Clubs, all of Duluth; the Minnesota Club of St. Paul; the Minneapolis Club of Minneapolis; the University Club of Chicago; the Duquesne Club of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the Bankers Club of New York; the Commercial Club of North Yakima; and with various college fraternities, including the Upsilon Kappa, Psi Upsilon, Theta Nu Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa.

Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature

Unlike computation of arbitrary integrals, however, Fourier-series integrations for periodic functions (like f(\cos\theta), by construction), up to the Nyquist frequency k=N, are accurately computed by the N+1 equally spaced and equally weighted points \theta n = n \pi / N for n = 0,\ldots,N (except the endpoints are weighted by 1/2, to avoid double-counting, equivalent to the trapezoidal rule or the Euler–Maclaurin formula).

Dan Geer

Geer received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, where he was a member of the Theta Deuteron charge of Theta Delta Chi fraternity.

Decocidio

The upper case theta was in 1969 made into an Ecology Symbol by cartoonist Ron Cobb, that later became associated with Earth Day.

Fisher information metric

Again, the variable \theta is understood as a coordinate on the Riemann manifold.

Fraternity Vacation

Fraternity Vacation is a 1985 low-budget American sex comedy starring Stephen Geoffreys as a nerdy pledge to the Theta Pi Gamma fraternity at Iowa State, with Tim Robbins and Cameron Dye as Theta Pi Gamma frat boys (or, as they are known to their Iowa State frat rivals, "Theta Pigs").

Irrational rotation

According to the Denjoy theorem, every orientation-preserving C2-diffeomorphism of the circle with an irrational rotation number θ is topologically conjugate to Tθ.

Jacob Broughton Nelson

Over the next few years, he oversaw the chartering of Phi Kappa chapters at the Emory University Academy in Oxford, Georgia (Gamma Beta) and at the Gulf Coast Military Academy in Gulfport, Mississippi (Mu Theta).

Jadene Felina Stevens

Jan Dahm

He was among the first group of people to be subject to court-martial during the German occupation of Norway, and later initiated and headed the Secret Intelligence Service group Theta, which operated in Bergen from December 1941 to June 1942.

Jason Simontacchi

Jason attended San Jose State University from 1994–1996 and pledged the Cal Iota chapter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity as a member of the Alpha Theta pledge class.

Jay Bocook

He was also inducted into the Theta Lambda chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota as a National Arts Associate in 2006.

John Reily Knox

In Beta Theta Pi, he is referred to as "Pater" in acknowledgment of his role in the origin and design of the fraternity.

Kappa Theta Pi

Kappa Theta Pi was founded on January 10, 2012 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is the University of Michigan's first and only startup technology fraternity.

Paul L. Foster

During college Paul was inducted into the Texas Theta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Baylor University.

Samuel Marshall

Samuel Taylor Marshall (1812–1895), co-founder of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity

Saugeen–Maitland Hall

When printed, the name was usually spelled with the Greek letters ΖΘΘ (zeta theta theta), in an effort to avoid the ban on "Zoo", which also gave the group a fraternity-like appearance.

Sigma Phi Delta

Eric Newell (Theta Chapter) - Former Chairman and CEO of the oil company Syncrude.

Synaptic noise

Gamma and theta oscillations, released during exploratory activities, create modulated rhythms that transform into prolonged excitation, and furthermore into memories or improper potentiation.

Theta Delta Chi

Theta Delta Chi, the eleventh oldest of the college fraternities, was founded in 1847 at Union College in Schenectady, NY by six members of the class of 1849: William G. Akin, Abel Beach, Theodore Brown, Andrew H. Green, William Hyslop, and Samuel F. Wile.

Theta model

The theta model (otherwise known as the Ermentrout-Kopell canonical model) is a "biological neuron model" originally used to model neurons in the animal Aplysia, but later became useful in various fields of computational neuroscience.

Theta rhythm

In rats, hippocampal theta is seen mainly in two conditions: first, when an animal is running, walking, or in some other way actively interacting with its surroundings; second, during REM sleep (Vanderwolf, 1969).

Theta Xi

William S. Mason, considered to be one of the greatest benefactors and supporters of Theta Xi, was the main supporter of the fraternity's adoption of Benjamin Franklin as its patron saint.
