Abstract

The modular symbols method developed by the author in 4 for the computation of cusp forms for 0(N) and related elliptic curves is here extended to 1(N). Two applications are given: the verification of a conjecture of Stevens 14 on modular curves parametrized by 1(N); and the study of certain elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction over real quadratic fields of prime discriminant, introduced by Shimura and related to Pinch's thesis 10.
