Description
Book SynopsisModular forms are tremendously important in various areas of mathematics, from number theory and algebraic geometry to combinatorics and lattices. This title gives an algorithm for computing coefficients of modular forms of level one in polynomial time.
Trade Review"The book is well written and provides sufficient detail and reminders about the big picture. It gives a nice exposition of the material involved and should be accessible to graduate students or researchers with a sufficient background in number theory and algebraic geometry."--Jeremy A. Rouse, Mathematical Reviews Clippings
