contents We revisit the group structure on elliptic curves and give a simple and elementary proof of the associativity of the addition. We do this by providing an explicit formula for the sum of three points, only using the explicit definition of the group structure. In the process we find a nice geometric interpretation of the sum of three points on the elliptic curve.
