The math of doughnuts: 'Moonshine' sheds light on elliptic curves

Elliptic curves are mathematically doughnut-shaped objects with specific configurations of rational points that determine their properties. Mathematicians have found a new form of moonshine that reveals deep information about these curves, including infinitely many and their general behavior.
