A Geometric Introduction to Transcendence Questions on Values of Modular Forms

A Geometric Introduction to Transcendence Questions on Values of Modular Forms

We survey some key developments in the theory of transcendental numbers, paying special attention to Nesterenko's theorem on values of Eisenstein series and emphasizing its underlying geometric aspects. We finish with a brief discussion on periods and related open problems.
