AI Thread Summary
A request for book recommendations on algebraic geometry highlights the importance of rigor in study materials. The individual is already familiar with single-variable complex analysis and is currently studying Hungerford's "Algebra." A notable suggestion is Fulton's "Algebraic Curves: An Introduction to Algebraic Geometry," which is well-regarded in the field and accessible as a free PDF online. The discussion emphasizes the need for quality resources to effectively prepare for algebraic geometry.

I was wondering if anyone knows a decent list of books to prepare for and learn algebraic geometry. Rigor isn't a problem. As for my current preparation, I'm fairly comfortable with single-variable complex analysis and I'm currently making my way through Hungerford's "Algebra". Any help would be appreciated.

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
