Quadratic equations with rational coefficients Why does the secant method works?

We have a solution Any straight line cuts the circle in 0,1 or 2

points Fact: If we have a quadratic equation

with rational coefficients and we know one solution, then there are infinite number of solutions and they can be parametrized in terms of one parameter.

what happens with the cubic equations?

Claude Gasper Bachet de Méziriac (1581-1638) :

Let c be a rational number. Suppose that (x,y) is a rational solution of Y2 = X3+c.  Then

is also a rational solution.

Elliptic curves Consider a non-singular elliptic curve Y2

= X3+aX2+bX+c Suppose we know a rational solution

(x,y). Compute the tangent line of the curve at

this point. Compute the intersection with the curve. The point you obtain is also a rational

solution.

Rational points on elliptic curves

Formula: If (x,y) is a rational solution, then (x,y) is another rational solution, where

x = 

it seems that we have found a procedure to compute infinitely many solutions if we know one. But this is not true!

Problem: If y = 0, x is not defined (or better,

it is equal to infinite). If x = x, and y = y, we get no new

point. What else could happen?

conjectured in 1908 that there is only a finite number of possibilities, and gave the exact list.Beppo Levi

Torsion points B. Mazur proved this conjecture

in 1977 in a cellebrated paper. Theorem (Mazur) Let (x,y) be a

rational point in an elliptic curve. Compute x, x, x and x. If you can do it, and all of them are different, then the formula before gives you infinitely many different points.
