Prolegomena to a Middlebrow Arithmetic of Curves of Genus 2

af J. W. S. (University of Cambridge) Cassels

The number theoretic properties of curves of genus 2 are attracting increasing attention. This book provides new insights into this subject; much of the material here is entirely new, and none has appeared in book form before. The work is accessible to beginning graduate students in number theory, algebraic geometry and workers in related areas.
