Elliptic curves over number fields definition and examples. Weierstrass equation, group law, isogenies. The weak Mordell-Weil theorem.

Heights on projective spaces, heights on elliptic curves, descent procedure and the Mordell-Weil theorem. Canonical height pairings on elliptic curves via Tate's construction, elliptic regulator, Mordell-Weil lattices.

Elkies's and Shioda's construction of Mordell-Weil lattices arising from elliptic curves over function fields.
