It turns out to be very easy to write down interesting points on the
classical Legendre elliptic curve y^2=x(x-1)(x-t) and show that they
generate a group of large rank. I'll give some basic background,
explain the construction, and discuss related questions which would
make good thesis projects (both MS and PhD).
