%N McKay-Thompson series of class 1A for the Monster group with a(0) = 24.

%C Changing the term 24 to 744 gives the classical j-function: see A000521 for much more information.

%C "The most natural normalization [of the j function] is to set the constant term equal to 24, the number given by Rademacher's infinite series for coefficients of the j function". [Borcherds]
