Abstract: In this talk, we introduce the notion of elliptic curves. First, we present geometric and algebraic interpretations of elliptic curves. Later, we talk about the set of rational points on elliptic curves and mention Mordell’s theorem, which states that the set of rational points on an elliptic curve is a finitely generated abelian group. Finally, we relate elliptic curves with L-series, and present some open questions about this subject.
