The main goal is to provide the reader with the big picture of the surprising connections among these three families of mathematical objects and their meaning for number theory. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 195 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 217 x 139 x 12. Weight in Grams: 266.
Many problems in number theory have simple statements, but their solutions require a deep understanding of algebra, algebraic geometry, complex analysis, group representations, or a combination of all four. The original simply stated problem can be obscured in the depth of the theory developed to understand it. This book is an introduction to some of these problems, and an overview of the theories used nowadays to attack them, presented so that the number theory is always at the forefront of the discussion. Lozano-Robledo gives an introductory survey of elliptic curves, modular forms, and $L$-functions. His main goal is to provide ... Read more
