Computing Modular Forms


Modular forms are essential to our greater understanding of number theory, and have a variety of powerful applications. Therefore we desire to compute modular forms explicitly. This talk will cover a paper by Arnold Pizer outlining the background of modular forms, their connection to quaternion algebras, and the resulting algorithm for computing the space of so-called newforms.
