Conics and Cubics is an accessible and well illustrated introduction to algebraic curves. The subject area is described by means of concrete and accessible examples. The book gives readers easy access to the study of elliptic curves, and includes a simple proof of Bezout's Theorem on the number of intersections of two curves. The book is a text for a one-semester course. The only prerequisite is first-year calculus.
