description: 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.
