Review

'The book is a welcome extension of the existing literature about this important topic ... It is recommended to students of mathematics and physics interested in the applications of the theory and the theory itself.' European Mathematical Society

'With an easy mind the reviewer can recommend this book to those who want to become acquainted with the subject and to those who look for a book which can serve as guide for a course on the subject ... the exemplary way in which Elliptic Curves is written, made reviewing a pleasure.' Niew Archief voor Wiskunde

Book Description

This 1997 book presents the subject of elliptic curves in the style of its nineteenth-century discoverers, with references to and comments about more modern developments. Requiring only a first acquaintance with complex function theory, it is an ideal introduction to the subject for students of mathematics and physics.
