Abstract

We determine the quadratic points on the modular curves X0(N)X_0(N) for N100N\leq 100 for which this has not been previously done, namely the cases N{66,70,78,82,84,86,87,88,90,96,99}.N\in\{66,70,78,82,84,86,87,88,90,96,99\}. We accomplish this by improving on the ``going down method," which uses the fact that we have a moduli description of all the (infinitely many) quadratic points on X0(n)X_0(n) for some divisor nn of NN.
