Elliptic curves by Miles Reid

This course note aims to give a basic overview of some of the main lines of study of elliptic curves, building on the student's knowledge of undergraduate algebra and complex analysis, and filling in background material where required (especially in number theory and geometry). Particular aims are to establish the link between doubly periodic functions, Riemann surfaces of genus 1, plane cubic curves, and associated Diophantine problems.
