Colloquium presented by Christopher Skinner (Princeton University)
This colloquium talk will begin with an introduction to the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for elliptic curves -- just curves defined by the equations y^2=x^3+Ax+B -- and then describe recent advances that allow us to prove that lots of elliptic curves have rank zero or one.
