Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms (Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 1993)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 1993, 21 November 2012

The theory of elliptic curves and modular forms provides a fruitful meeting ground for such diverse areas as number theory, complex analysis, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. This book starts out with a problem from elementary number theory and proceeds to lead its reader into the modern theory, covering such topics as the Hasse-Weil L-function and the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. This new edition details the current state of knowledge of elliptic curves.
