Finding rational points that satisfy functions known as elliptic curves induces a finitely-generated abelian group. Such functions are powerful tools that were used to solve Fermat's Last Theorem and are used in cryptography to send private keys over public systems. Elliptic curves are also useful in factoring and determining primality.
