An invitation to arithmetic geometry /

A text for a year-long introduction to arithmetic geometry, leading the reader in a logical progression from the local to the global properties of rings and curves through the study of class groups and of the Riemann-Roch theorem. Emphasizes the connection between algebraic number and algebraic curv...
