Abstract: It is shown that Ramanujan's cubic transformation of the Gauss hypergeometric function ${}_2{F}_1$ arises from a relation between modular curves, namely the covering of $X_0(3)$ by $X_0(9)$. In general, when $2leNle7$ the N-fold cover of $X_0(N)$ by $X_0(N^2)$ gives rise to an algebraic hypergeometric transformation. The N=2,3,4 transformations are arithmetic-geometric mean iterations, but the N=5,6,7 transformations are new. In the final two the change of variables is not parametrized by rational functions, since $X_0(6),X_0(7)$ are of genus 1. Since their quotients $X_0^{+}(6),X_0^{+}(7)$ under the Fricke involution (an Atkin-Lehner involution) are of genus 0, the parametrization is by two-valued algebraic functions. The resulting hypergeometric transformations are closely related to the two-valued modular equations of Fricke and H. Cohn.
