Washington
has found just the right level of abstraction for a first book; he gets very far and he demands less algebraic geometry than J. Silverman uses in his two books and also less analysis than A. Knapp presumes in his. Notably, he offers the most lucid and concrete account ever of the perpetually mysterious Shafarevich Tate group. A pleasure to read! Summing Up: Highly recommended.

There are already a number of books about elliptic curves, but this new offering by Washington is definitely among the best of them. It gives a rigorous though relatively elementary development of the theory of elliptic curves, with emphasis on those aspects of the theory most relevant for an understanding of elliptic curve cryptography.
this book is an excellent companion to the books of Silverman and Blake, Seroussi and Smart. It would be a fine asset to any library or collection.

In Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography, Larry Washington has written a nice, relatively complete, elementary account of elliptical curves.
