Extending techniques used to determine the set of rational points on an algebraic curve
This thesis is concerned with the problem of determining sets of rational points on algebraic curves defined over number fields. Specifically, we will explore the methods of descent, Chabauty-Coleman and the Mordell-Weil sieve. These have been around for many years, and number theorists have used th...
