Abstract

We study the concepts of congruent number problems and elliptic curves. We research the structure of the group of elliptic curves and find out a method of the computation of L($E_n$, 1) and L'($E_n$, 1) by using SAGE program. In this paper, we obtain the first few congruent numbers for n ${\leq}$ 2500.
