Galois representations attached to elliptic curves

This talk will be a survey about Galois representations attached to elliptic curves and their connections to other problems in number theory. We will discuss prime values of quadratic polynomials, images of the mod n Galois representations and division fields, the inverse Galois problem for {\rm PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{p}) , and the determination of coprime solutions to x^2+y^3=z^7 .
