COURSE DESCRIPTION
Arithmetic geometry lies at the intersection of algebraic geometry and number theory.
Its primary focus is the analysis of diophantine equations (xn + yn = zn, for example), both from an algebraic and a geometric perspective.
See the course schedule for a list of planned topics.
Note: 18.782 and 18.783 both cover material on elliptic curves,
but there is essentially no overlap; the courses are complementary and may be taken in either order.
Prerequisites: 18.702.
