Description for Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
Hardcover. 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 covers such topics as the Hasse-Weil L-function and the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. It details the state of knowledge of elliptic curves. Series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 252 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 241 x 166 x 21. Weight in Grams: 556.
This textbook covers the basic properties of elliptic curves and modular forms, with emphasis on certain connections with number theory. The ancient "congruent number problem" is the central motivating example for most of the book. My purpose is to make the subject accessible to those who find it hard to read more advanced or more algebraically oriented treatments. At the same time I want to introduce topics which are at the forefront of current research. Down-to-earth examples are given in the text and exercises, with the aim of making the material readable and interesting to mathematicians in fields far removed ... Read more
