Let X be a Shimura curve of genus zero. In this paper, we first characterize the spaces of automorphic forms on X in terms of Schwarzian differential equations. We then devise a method to compute Hecke operators on these spaces. An interesting by-product of our analysis is the evaluation and other similar identities.
