2007-05-21 ---------- ** GET A PROJECTOR ** 1. Reminder: C Wuthrich next Wed. (second to last day of class) Last day of class: Me about computational verification of BSD 2. Student presentations * Dustin Moody -- point counting -- look at code; think of a list of applications apps: * Sato-Tate experiments (convergence of a_p to a distribution) * Efficient computation of L-series * Compute # of supersingular primes (i.e., p with a_p = 0) up to p as a function of p; is there a nice pattern? * Robert Miller -- isogeny graphs -- apply and try * Robert Bradshaw -- 2-descent -- apply and try * Koopa (if not sick) -- bounding Sha -- read his email: I'll present his project
