โฆ Synopsis
I own both the first and second editions of this book. I am an amateur mathetician; I don't think there is a siginicant difference in the two editions, if you are a non-professional like me. They are both excellent books, and almost exponentially inrease in difficulty as one gets further into them. The writing is less dense, and more amateur-friendly, than Washington's other famous book on cyclotomtic theory. There is some surprising humor in "Elliptic Curves" too. Washington makes a clever pun on Fermat's marginalia. I would gladly recommend either addition---unless you are a Faltings to begin with.charlie sanders

Elliptic curves have played an increasingly important role in number theory and related fields over the last several decades, most notably in areas such as cryptography, factorization, and the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
