Truth in 1984

Filed under: General,Geometry — Tags: — m759 @ 2:36 pm

"The theory of elliptic curves and modular forms is
one subject where the most diverse branches
of mathematics come together: complex analysis,
algebraic geometry, representation theory, number theory."

— Neal Koblitz, first sentence of 
Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms,
First Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1984

A quote co-authored by Koblitz appears in today's
earlier post The Wolf Gang.

Maryna Viazovska's course on elliptic curves and modular forms used the Koblitz text.
