Abstract
For each open subgroup , there is a modular curve , defined as a quotient of the full modular curve , where is the level of . The genus formula of a modular curve is well known for , , , , , and for prime. We explicitly work out the invariants of the genus formulas for , , and . In Table , we provide the invariants of the genus formulas for all of the modular curves listed.
