Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar covers the basic properties of elliptic curves and modular forms, with emphasis on certain connections with number theory. The old "congruent number problem", mentioned back in 1225 in a book of Fibonacci, is a motivating example.
Assessment and permitted materials
Each student will have to give one or two (depending on the total number of students) presentations based on sections of the book of N. Koblitz "Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms".
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
One or two presentations (depending on the number of students) and at least 80% of presence during the semester.
Examination topics
No exam.
Reading list
N. Koblitz "Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms"Complementary reading:
J. Silverman, J. Tate "Rational Points on Elliptic Curves"
J.-P. Serre "Cours d'arithmétique"
