Abstract
The concept of modular form are based on very natural considerations. In this chapter we recount some rudiments of the theory of modular forms without assuming any previous knowledge of the subject on the reader’s part. The number theoretic interest of the subject becomes apparent when we describe the Hecke operators on the spaces of modular forms and the L-functions attached to eigenforms. The connection between elliptic curves and modular forms of weight 2 is briefly described towards the end in order to state the celebrated Shimura-Taniyama Conjecture, which is now a theorem of A. Wiles, et al. See [Wi95] and related articles.
