In this talk, we will explore how elliptic divisibility sequences are associated with elliptic curves, that is often called the natural habitat of these sequences. We will first develop the essential tools and dictionaries required to understand the discussion. We will introduce the following concept from a commentator point of view that is easy enough to understand by a lay man.
- Groups
- Elliptic Curves
- Sequences
- The final connection
