You could perhaps try the section on modular forms + modular functions in Knapp's book on elliptic curves, or McKean + Moll's book on elliptic functions + elliptic curves | |
| May 2, 2013 at 20:27 | comment | added | mathfish | Thanks David, your answer makes a lot of sense (despite my lack of knowledge in the area). Can you suggest any references (I am guessing the plural is appropriate here). My background is more analysis, with a sprinkling of geometry and only the rudiments of number theory. | |
