Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the field Q of rational numbers, then the torsion subgroup of the Mordell-Weil group E(Q) is finite and it is known that there exist the elliptic curves whose torsion subgroups E(Q)t are of the following types: (1), (2), (3), (2, 2), (4), (5), (2, 3), (7), (2, 4), (8), (9), (2, 5), (2, 2, 3), (3, 4) and (2, 8). It has been conjectured from various reasons that E(Q)t is exhausted by the above types only. If E has a torsion point of order precisely n, then it is known that E has an n-isogeny, that is to say, an isogeny of degree n.
