%N A221362 Number of distinct groups of order n that are the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve over the rationals Q.
%C A221362 Barry Mazur proved that the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve over Q is one of the 15 following groups: Z/NZ for N = 1, 2, …, 10, or 12, or Z/2Z × Z/2NZ with N = 1, 2, 3, 4.

%F A221362 a(A059765(n)) > 0. - _Jonathan Sondow_, May 10 2014
%e A221362 a(4) = 2 because a subgroup of order 4 in an elliptic curve over Q is isomorphic to one of the 2 groups Z/4Z or Z/2Z × Z/2Z.
