Families of modular forms
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 13 (2001) no. 1, pp. 43-52

We give a down-to-earth introduction to the theory of families of modular forms, and discuss elementary proofs of results suggesting that modular forms come in families.

Nous donnons une introduction terre à terre de la théorie des familles de formes modulaires, et discutons des démonstrations élémentaires de résultats suggérant que les formes modulaires apparaissent sous forme de familles.
