Abstract
An explicit bound is obtained for the torsion of elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers. Let Γ be an elliptic curve over the field of rational numbers R, and Qm a primitive R-point of order m on it; here m is a prime or a double prime. Hence if m=2p, then p ≤ 509, whereas if m=p, then p < 6144.
