In particular we show how to solve the transcendental constraints arising on the spectral curve. For a class of symmetric curves the transcendental constraints become a number theoretic problem and a recently proven identity of Ramanujan provides a solution. The Ercolani-Sinha construction provides a gauge-transform of the Nahm data.65 pages, 6 figuresMathematical PhysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryDifferential GeometryExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsRemarks on the complex geometry of the 3-monopoletext
