Abstract
Here we consider elliptic curves or, in other words, algebraic curves of genus g = 1. Certainly it is impossible to mention even briefly all directions of research in this wide and exciting area. Instead, we concentrate only on selected topics which are of interest in studying finite fields and their applications (and for the computational number theory generally). Certainly the selection reflects the author’s taste. We refer to the books [1513, 1625, 2650, 2651, 2804] which provide a much more systematic approach.
