The topics covered include * elliptic curves as complex tori and as algebraic curves, * modular curves as Riemann surfaces and as algebraic curves, * Hecke operators and Atkin--Lehner theory, * Hecke eigenforms and their arithmetic properties, * the Jacobians of modular curves and the Abelian varieties associated to Hecke eigenforms, * elliptic and modular curves modulo~ UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b138781 ER -
