A congruence Ramanujan observed for $ au(n)$ modulo 691 in the paper led to Serre and Swinnerton-Dyer develop ing a geometric theory of mod $p$ modular forms. It was in the context of the theory of mod $p$ modular forms that Serre made his modularity conject ure\, which was initially formulated in a letter of Serre to Tate in 1973. \n \n I will describe the path from Ramanujan's work in 1916\, to the formul ation of a first version of Serre's conjecture in 1973\, to its resolution in 2009 by Jean-Pierre Wintenberger and myself. I will also try to indica te why this subject is very much alive and\, in spite of all the progress\ , still in its infancy.\n\nhttp://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-sciences-mathe matiques-quebec/index.htm...\n\n \n\n \n\n\n Salle/Room 5340\, Pav.
