"The theory of elliptic functions is the fairyland of mathematics" (R.Bellman). Modular forms (a part thereof), with their many beautiful formulas and applications, are functions on the Hyperbolic Plane periodic on a non-Euclidean lattice (picture: Escher's "Circle Limit"). A general introduction to this subject will be given.
