  What is an elliptic curve?
  There are a number of different approaches to the concept of circle: Euclidean geometry, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, group theory, etc. For each of these approaches, there is a corresponding way of understanding elliptic curves, so that historically the concept was discovered several different times from several points of view before people understood that there was one underlying idea.
