Popis: In this paper we prove a formula which relates the degree of a curve which is the image of a mapping \(z\longmapsto (f(z): g(z): h(z))\) constructed out of three linearly independent modular forms of the same integral or half-integral weight into \(\mathbb P^2\) and the degree of that map. Based on the formula, we present a test for birationality of the map. As an example, we compute the formula for the total degree i.e., the degree considered as a polynomial of two (independent) variables of the classical modular polynomial (or the degree of the canonical model of \(X_0(N)\)). We give an interesting example to the test for birationality which leads us to make a question on existence of specific explicit and simple model of \(X_0(N)\). We prove our claim when \(N=p\) is a prime.
