Elliptic Tales: Curves, Counting, and Number Theory by Avner Ash

Pretty technical for a math book in a public library. Currently, I'm holding two books by Eli Maor, which are just technical enough, so I'm letting this one go for now.

Elliptic Tales: Curves, Counting, and Number Theory by Avner Ash

Pure mathematics: Centered on properties of "elliptic" curves described by equations of the form y^2 = x^3 + Ax + B. Aimed at inculcating an understanding of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, one of the unsolved Millennium Problems with a million-dollar prize. Challenging but not altogether impenetrable for readers who are not professional mathematicians, as long as they are comfortable with algebra and calculus.
