During the last few years of his life, Ramanujan had adamantly tried to invert the modular invariant. Subsequent efforts failed until May 30, 2011 when an explicit closed formula for an inverse was presented at the CCRAS (Moscow, Russia). This very formula, along with some special values of the modular invariant, is given in this paper.
In a previous paper, a point of order 8 on an elliptic curve was calculated. Exploiting the well-known correspondence of the points on an elliptic curve with the points of a respective period parallelogram, we proceed to calculating all values at the eighth lattice points of an essential elliptic function which we introduce.
A formula expressing a point of order 8 on an elliptic curve, in terms of the roots of the associated cubic polynomial, is given. Doubling such a point yields a point of order 4 distinct from the well-known points of order 4 given in standard references such as "A course of Modern Analysis" by Whittaker and Watson.
