What Is Hasse's Theorem

Finite Elliptic Curve Group, Eq(a,b), q = p^n

Takeaways:

There are infinite number of integer points on an elliptic curve.
An elliptic curve can be reduced by modular arithmetic of a prime number p.
There many more points on a reduced elliptic curve than the non-reduced elliptic curve.
Points on a reduced elliptic curve can be divided into regions with the first region as [(0,0), (p-1,p-1)].
Every region is a carbon copy of the first region, because if a point P=(x,y) is on the elliptic curve reduced by p, Q=(x+iP,y+jP) is also on the curve for any integers of i and j.
The addition operation based on the rule of chord can also be reduced by modular arithmetic of a prime number p.
The first region of point on a reduced elliptic curve and the reduced addition operation with the same prime number p is an Abelian group.
Modular arithmetic reduction of a rational number, i/j (mod p), is equivalent to i*(1/j) (mod p).
k = (1/j) (mod p) is called modular multiplicative inverse, which is to find the least positive integer k, such that j*k = 1 (mod p).
Hasse's Theorem, which states that the order, n, of a reduced elliptic curve group, Ep(a,b), is bounded in the range of [p+1 - 2*sqrt(p), p+1 + 2*sqrt(p)].
Finite elliptic curve groups can also be constructed with modular arithmetic reduction of prime power numbers, p^n.
