+## Mathematics
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Abstract Algebra
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Pinter is your fundamental algebra text. Everybody should study this book.
|
|
|
+ [My full solutions here](https://github.com/narodnik/abstract-algebra-pinter-solutions).
|
|
|
+* Basic Abstract Algebra by Dover is also a good reference.
|
|
|
+* Algebra by Dummit & Foote. The best reference book you will use many times. Just buy it.
|
|
|
+* Algebra by Serge Lang. More advanced algebra book but often contains material not
|
|
|
+ found in the D&F book.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Elliptic Curves
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Washington is a standard text and takes a computational approach. The math is often
|
|
|
+ quite obtuse because he avoids introducing advanced notation, instead keeping things
|
|
|
+ often in algebra equations.
|
|
|
+* Silverman is the best text but harder than Washington. The material however is rewarding.
|
|
|
+
|
|
