Description for Elliptic Curves. (MN-40), Volume 40
Paperback. An elliptic curve is a particular kind of cubic equation in two variables whose projective solutions form a group. Developing, with many examples, the elementary theory of elliptic curves, this book goes on to the subject of modular forms and the first connections with elliptic curves. Series: Mathematical Notes. Num Pages: 448 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: PBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 260 x 261 x 35. Weight in Grams: 654.
An elliptic curve is a particular kind of cubic equation in two variables whose projective solutions form a group. Modular forms are analytic functions in the upper half plane with certain transformation laws and growth properties. The two subjects--elliptic curves and modular forms--come together in Eichler-Shimura theory, which constructs elliptic curves out of modular forms of a special kind. The converse, that all rational elliptic curves arise this way, is called the Taniyama-Weil Conjecture and is known to imply Fermat's Last Theorem. Elliptic curves and the modeular forms in the Eichler- Shimura theory both have associated L functions, and it ... Read more
