Abstract
The theory of elliptic curves (curves of genus 1 having a specified basepoint xo) is varied and rich, and provides a good example of the profound connections between abstract algebraic geometry, complex analysis, and number theory. The most important property is that any elliptic curve is an abelian variety.
