: The book begins with essential topics like tensor products, flatness, and formal completion, integrating algebra directly into the geometric learning process. Schemes and Morphisms
Algebraic geometry and arithmetic curves : Liu, Qing, 1963 July
: This part culminates in the Riemann-Roch theorem and its application to smooth projective curves. Part II: Arithmetic Surfaces and Curves Intersection Theory
Furthermore, Liu includes numerous exercises—many of which are actually small research lemmas. Completing them not only solidifies understanding but also equips the reader with tools used in modern research papers.
