Most elliptic curves over the rationals have trivial torsion
The proof is straightforward and accessible
Supports the common belief about torsion properties
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to give a "down--to--earth" proof of the well--known fact that a randomly chosen elliptic curve over the rationals is most likely to have trivial torsion.
