Preface
In early 1996, I taught a course on elliptic curves. Since this was not long after
Wiles had proved Fermat’s Last Theorem and I promised to explain some of the
ideas underlying his proof, the course attracted an unusually large and diverse
audience. As a result, I attempted to make the course accessible to all students
with a knowledge only of the standard first-year graduate courses.
When it was over, I collected the notes that I had handed out during the
course into a single file, made a few corrections, and posted them on the Web,
where they have since been downloaded tens of thousands of times.
The appearance of publishers willing to turn pdf files into books quickly
and cheaply and make them available worldwide while allowing the author to
retain full control of the content and appearance of the work has prompted me
to rewrite the notes and make them available as a paperback.
