MATH7359 — Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms: Reviews & Ratings

MATH7359 (Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.

Introduces elliptic curves and modular forms. Examines elliptic curves as algebraic varieties over the complex numbers, finite fields, and local and global fields. Related topics include the j-invariant, the Tate module and the Weil pairing, zeta functions and the Weil conjectures, and the Mordell-Weil theorem. Modular forms are defined on moduli spaces of elliptic curves. Related topics include Eisenstein series, cusp forms, congruence subgroups of SL2(Z), modularity and the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, and Fermat’s Last Theorem.
