Complex Analysis and algebraic geometry

In many ways, the modern revival of algebraic geometry resulted from investigations in complex function theory. In this video, we show how Weierstrass's p-function can be used to relate cubic curves and 2-tori. We see in particular that cubic curves have an abelian group structure.

The material in this video and the other in the playlist can be found in Kirwan's "Complex algebraic curves".
