From the reviews: "The authors' goal has been to write a textbook in a technically difficult field which is accessible to the average undergraduate mathematics major, and it seems that they have succeeded admirably..."--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "This is a very leisurely introduction to the theory of elliptic curves, concentrating on an algebraic and number-theoretic viewpoint. It is pitched at an undergraduate level and simplifies the work by proving the main theorems with additional hypotheses or by only proving special cases. … The examples really pull together the material and make it clear. … a great book for a first introduction to the subject of elliptic curves. … very clearly written and you will understand a lot when you are done." (Allen Stenger, The Mathematical Association of America, August, 2008)
