Frances Kirwan: Complex Algebraic Curves, Cambridge University Press Other useful resources: 1. Miles Reid: Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry, Cambridge University Press. Useful for geometry of higher-dimensional varieties. 2. Alexei Skorobogatov: Lecture notes on algebraic geometry. A much more algebraic approach, studying higher dimensional algebraic geometry. 3. Nigel Hitchin: Lecture notes on projective geometry. Good for projective transformations. 4. Nigel Hitchin: Lecture notes on topology of surfaces. 5. Nigel Hitchin: Lecture notes on Riemann surfaces. 6. Wilson Sutherland: Introduction to metric and topological spaces, Oxford University Press. Good to revise (or learn for the first time) the basics of point-set topology. |
