Abstract:

This paper gives a general survey of ranks of elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers. The rank is a measure of the size of the set of rational points. The paper includes discussions of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, the Parity Conjecture, ranks in families of quadratic twists, and ways to search for elliptic curves of large rank.
