Comments

a(2n) = dimension of M(2n), where M(2n) denotes the complex vector space of modular forms of weight 2n for the group : PSL2(Z). dimension of M(2n+1) = 0.

See A103221(n) for the dimension of M(2n). The Apostol reference, p. 119, eq. (9) uses even k. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 16 2016

The space of modular forms is generated by E_4 (A004009) and E_6 (A013973) both of even weight. This is why the space of modular forms of odd weight is trivial. - Michael Somos, Dec 11 2018
