We take a guided tour of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, the deep link between rational points on elliptic curves and the analytic behavior of L-functions. From Mordell’s theorem on finite bases for rational points, through the enigmatic Tate-Shafarevich group, to how the order of vanishing of the L-function at s = 1 encodes rank, and the practical consequences like Tunnell’s congruent-number test under BSD. We also summarize what is known, what remains open (especially for higher rank curves), and why this bridge between algebra and analysis remains a central frontier in number theory.
