Discussion of theory and applications of algebraic curves over finite fields with many rational points.

In 1985 Jean-Pierre Serre gave a series of lectures at Harvard University on the number of points of curves over finite fields. Based on notes taken at that tim

The theory of elliptic curves involves a blend of algebra, geometry, analysis, and number theory. This book stresses this interplay as it develops the basic the

This book provides an accessible and self-contained introduction to the theory of algebraic curves over a finite field, a subject that has been of fundamental i
