René Schoof's Algorithm for Determining the Order of the Group of Points on an Elliptic Curve over a Finite Field

Elliptic curves have a rich mathematical history dating back to Diophantus (c. 250 C.E.), who used a form of these cubic equations to find right triangles of integer area with rational sides. In more recent times the deep mathematics of elliptic curves was used by Andrew Wiles et. al., to construc...
