Elliptic curves are of central importance in computational number theory with numerous applications in such areas as cryptography primality testing and factorization. This book presents a thorough treatment of many algorithms concerning the arithmetic of elliptic curves complete with computer implementation. In the first part the author describes in detail the construction of modular elliptic curves giving an explicit algorithm for their computation. Then a collection of algorithms for the arithmetic of elliptic curves is presented, some of these have not appeared in book form before. Finally an extensive set of tables is provided giving the results of the author's implentations of the algorithms. Researchers and graduate students of number theory will find this book useful particularly those interested in computation. That aspect will make it appeal also to computer scientists and coding theorists.

"Although the idea of using modular symbols for computing the modular elliptic curves defined over Q with conductor N is not new, neither the complete description of the algorithm nor the description of its implementation had been available before the writing of this book; moreover, the complete list of all the modular curves defined over Q with conductor less than 999...will prove very useful for any mathematician interested in the arithmetic of elliptic curves."
