The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves

This book treats the arithmetic theory of elliptic curves in its modern formulation through the use of basic algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. It outlines necessary algebro-geometric results then proceeds with an exposition of the geometry of elliptic curves, the formal group of an elliptic curve, elliptic curves over finite fields, the complex numbers, local fields, and global fields. It also covers integral and rational points.
