Description

Rational Points on Elliptic Curves by Joseph H. Silverman and John T. Tate is an expanded version of the original notes from 1961, first delivered at Haverford College. These lectures have been widely distributed as photocopies and portions have appeared in various textbooks, but never in their entirety. Given the recent interest in the theory of elliptic curves across different subjects, including cryptography and physics, it's a timely publication to present these notes to an advanced undergraduate audience. The authors aimed to maintain the informality of the original lectures while writing a textbook on a technically difficult subject that is accessible to the average undergraduate mathematics major. The book presents foundational material on elliptic curves, with some proofs intended to explain and convince rather than rigorously prove. This approach makes it suitable for students looking to understand the basics of elliptic curves in an approachable way.
