| Description: |
The goal of this course is to explain Abel's isomorphism of the complex torus and the geometric group structure on an elliptic curve. The course mixes algebraic geometry, topology and complex analysis; methods are hands-on, computational approaches of pre-Dedekind abstraction, such as the use of resultants and the elimination method to prove the Nullstellensatz and Bezout's theorem.
