I found that the endomorphism group over an elliptic curve is isomorphic to a complex quadratic order:

[itex]End(E)\simeq \mathbb{Z}[\delta]=\mathbb{Z}+\delta\mathbb{Z}[/itex],
where
[itex]\delta=\frac{\sqrt{\Delta}}{2}[/itex] if [itex]\Delta[/itex] is even
[itex]\delta=\frac{1+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2}[/itex] if [itex]\Delta[/itex] is odd

Does anyone know where I can find some info and a rigorous definition of a complex quadratic order, and the proof of that result?
Thanks
