Arithmetic Geometry

This project is a rigorous introduction to modern arithmetic geometry. No previous exposure to algebraic geometry is required, although that would be helpful. We will start with the appendix on algebraic geometry and set up the Weil heights in the opening two chapters and then, depending on the student’s interests and background
