Hurwitz - Bernoulli Numbers, Formal Groups and the L - Functions of   Elliptic Curves
  Classically, Euler developed the theory of the Riemann zeta - function using as his starting point the exponential and partial fraction forms of cot(z) . In this paper we wish to develop the theory of $L$-functions of elliptic curves starting from the theory of elliptic functions in an analogous manner.
