“The Fourier expansion of an elliptic modular form has been fruitfully utilized in various arithmetical problems as well as in the study of the analytic properties of the form itself. The same can be said also for the Hilbert and Siegel modular forms.”

“You see, some mathematicians have clear and far-ranging. "programs". For instance, Grothendieck had such a program for algebraic geometry; now Langlands has one for representation theory, in relation to modular forms and arithmetic. I never had such a program, not even a small size one.”

Jean-Pierre Serre (1926) French mathematician
