Elliptic Curves (equation)
$begingroup$
Is there a specific method to solve equations like $ y^2 = x^3 - n^2x $ ?
I was reading an example about $ y^2 = x^3 - 49x $ and it says that a solution is $ (-frac{63}{16},frac{735}{64}) $ .
How did he find it?
Thanks
In some papers I saw that if I find a solution $ (x_{0},y_{0}) $ and replace $ x $ with $ x-x_{0} $ and $ y $ with $ y=kx+y_{0} $ I will find all rational solutions.

I don't understand what you mean by "solving" such an equation. In what sense does $left(-frac{63}{16},frac{735}{64}right)$ "solve" $y^2= x^3- 49x$?

I want to know if there is a way to find all rational points $ (x,y) $ giving that $ y^2= x^3 -49x $ or $ y^2= x^3 - n^2x $ in general. This example is from "Arithmetic Progressions of Three squares" by Keith Conrad. The point I wrote verifies the equation

Have a look at Algorithms for finding rational points on an elliptic curve? from Mathoverflow.

The last paragraph sounds really strange. But, are you familiar with the chord-tangent method of finding more points on an elliptic curve?

@Dr.Mathematics : Do you understand why points of finite order ($E(mathbb{Q})_{tors}$) are very special rational points ? The method to find both are very different. Your previous question is referencing everything you need for $E(mathbb{Q})_{tors}$.
