Textbooks for Independent Study

Here are some of my favorite textbooks for undergraduates interested in getting a taste of arithmetic geometry. This list is far from exhaustive, but these books are solid options for self study or directed reading. They are enjoyable to read, offer clear explanations of the main concepts, and have relatively modest prerequisites (mainly abstract algebra).

  • Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem, I. Stewart and D. Tall

  • Algebraic Curves: An Introduction to Algebraic Geometry, W. Fulton

  • Rational Points on Elliptic Curves, J. Silverman and J. Tate

  • Elliptic Curves, Modular Forms, and Their L-functions, A. Lozano-Robledo
