Modular Forms and Hecke Operators

These are the notes of a 1996 Berkeley course of Ken Ribet's on modular forms and Hecke operators. The version here is the original very rough form. Though they flow well, they contain all kinds of inaccuracies and are annoyingly incomplete. Thus at present I definitely wouldn't recommend them for study. However, I've been rewriting and extending them for my modular abelian varieties course, so you probably want to look at those notes instead.

Alternatively the the scribe notes are available. They were created by several of us students and assembled by Lawren Smithline.
