Abstract
The present thesis examines explicit computation with modular forms on definite orthogonal groups over the rational numbers. The space of functions on the genus of a definite quadratic form affords a natural representation of the Hecke algebra, which realizes the function space as a space of modular forms. The algorithm of the thesis computes the genus of a quadratic form as well as Hecke operators on the associated space of modular forms. A formula derived in the thesis yields Satake parameters from Hecke eigenvalues. Explicit examples of Satake parameters verify the correctness of the algorithm and the formula by their agreement with the predictions of the Arthur conjectures.
