Product Review
Praise for the First Edition
There are already a number of books about elliptic curves, but this new offering by Washington is definitely among the best of them. It gives a rigorous though relatively elementary development of the theory of elliptic curves, with emphasis on those aspects of the theory most relevant for an understanding of elliptic curve cryptography. this book is an excellent companion to the books of Silverman and Blake, Seroussi and Smart. It would be a fine asset to any library or collection.
Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2004e
Washington has found just the right level of abstraction for a first book . Notably, he offers the most lucid and concrete account ever of the perpetually mysterious Shafarevich Tate group. A pleasure to read! Summing Up: Highly recommended.
CHOICE, March 2004
In Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography, Larry Washington has written a nice, relatively complete, elementary account of elliptical curves.
Bulletin of the AMS
Book Description
Like its bestselling predecessor, this book develops the theory of elliptic curves to provide a basis for both number theoretic and cryptographic applications. This edition now includes alternative coordinate systems and related computational issues, a more elementary treatment of the TateLichtenbaum pairing, additional elliptic curve cryptosystems, and Douds analytic method for computing torsion on elliptic curves over Q. It also contains new chapters on isogenies and hyperelliptic curves as well as discusses how to compute elliptic curves in some popular computer algebra systems. Basic exercises appear at the end of each chapter, with selected answers in an appendix.
