COMMENTS
By the modularity of elliptic curves over Q (proved by Breuil-Conrad-Diamond-Taylor), a(n) is equivalently the number of integral normalized weight 2 newforms for Gamma_0(n). - Robin Visser, Nov 04 2024

EXAMPLE
a(11) = 1, as there is exactly one isogeny class of elliptic curves over Q of conductor 11, represented by E : y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2. - Robin Visser, Nov 04 2024
