Abstract
In this thesis, an account of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and some of its
history are presented. A framework on the theory of elliptic curves is developed from
the ground up. Then, several advanced definitions and results from algebraic geometry
are given. This includes an accessible chapter about the Tate-Shafarevich group. These
results will help illuminate some of the reasoning behind Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer’s
work. Finally, a thorough, up to date report on the progress of the conjecture is included.
