Textbooks for Independent Study

Here are some of my favorite textbooks for undergraduates interested in getting a taste of arithmetic geometry. While this list is far from exhaustive, 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
