In this talk, after defining rational points on a curve we will address the problem of finding the rational points on curves. We will give a recipe in order to generate a new rational point from already known ones. After that we will introduce the notion of elliptic curves and mention the rational points on elliptic curves. Finally we will refer to the well-known results, Mordell’s Theorem and Siegel’s Theorem.
