Elliptic curves and analysis. 330 $aElliptic Tales describes the latest developments in number theory by looking at one of the most exciting unsolved problems in contemporary mathematics-the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture. In this book, Avner Ash and Robert Gross guide readers through the mathematics they need to understand this captivating problem.The key to the conjecture lies in elliptic curves, which may appear simple, but arise from some very deep-and often very mystifying-mathematical ideas. Using only basic algebra and calculus while presenting numerous eye-opening examples, Ash and Gross make these ideas accessible to general readers, and, in the process, venture to the very frontiers of modern mathematics. 606 $aElliptic functions 606 $aCurves, Elliptic 606 $aNumber theory 615 0$aElliptic functions. 615 0$aCurves, Elliptic. 615 0$aNumber theory. 676 $a515/.983 686 $aSK 180$2rvk 700 $aAsh$b Avner$f1949-$01034316 701 $aGross$b Robert$f1959-$01511768 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778958503321 996 $aElliptic tales$93745295 997 $aUNINA
