The genus formula for a modular curve is
where , count elliptic orbits of orders two and three, and is the number of cusps.
For ,
There are two cusps, represented by infinity and zero. The congruence has no solution, so there is no elliptic orbit of order two. The congruence has the single solution , giving one elliptic orbit of order three. Therefore
which is the Modular curve X0 3 calculation.
