Number theory II.a - Modular forms
Summary
In this course we will introduce core concepts of the theory of modular forms and consider several applications of this theory to combinatorics, harmonic analysis, and geometric optimization.
Content
During the course we will learn:
- Basic definitions and facts of the theory of modular forms
