Essays on the Theory of Numbers
by Richard Dedekind
Publisher: The Open Court Publishing 1901
ISBN/ASIN: 0486210103
Number of pages: 78
Description:
This is a book combining two essays by Dedekind: "Continuity and irrational numbers" - Dedekind's way of defining the real numbers from rational numbers; and "The nature and meaning of numbers" where Dedekind offers a precise explication of the natural numbers (using what are now called the Peano axioms, since Peano made so much of them after reading Dedekind).

Introduction to Shimura Varietiesby J.S. Milne
This is an introduction to the theory of Shimura varieties, or, in other words, to the arithmetic theory of automorphic functions and holomorphic automorphic forms. Because of their brevity, many proofs have been omitted or only sketched.
