The special value of an elliptic curve E/QE/\Q is the first nonzero value of L(r)(E,1)/r!L^{(r)}(E,1)/r! for rZ0r\in \Z_{\ge 0}, where L(E,s)L(E,s) is the LL-function of EE in its arithmetic normalization.

The special value appears on the LHS of the formula in the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.
