Reviews

'... this textbook provides an excellent treatment of the subject of the basic algebraic geometry (and arithmetic) of genus 2 curves and would serve as a useful introductory text for graduate students.' A Maciocia, Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society '... an explicit treatment.' L'Enseignement Mathematique 'It is clear that this often subtle and witty book is required reading for those working in the field.' J. Schoissengeier, Monatshefte fur Mathematik '... the authors adopt a down-to-earth approach, assuming a fair background in algebraic geometry, but explaining carefully the tools used.' Mathematika 'The book is accessible without too many prerequisutes ... As a readable introduction to an exciting area of research in which there are may interesting questions still to be answered, the book is to be strongly recommended.' Bulletin of the London Mathematics Society

As a readable introduction to an exciting area of research in which there are may interesting questions still to be answered, the book is to be strongly recommended.' Bulletin of the London Mathematics Society The volume is a comprehensive introduction to the burgeoning theory of computations on genus 2 curves and jacobians, clearly written and chock full of first-rate mathematical insights; it will certainly be the primary reference source for anyone wishing to study the subject.
