Musili, C. Classification themes in algebraic geometry and algebraic groups. (English) Zbl 0845.14001 Res. Bull. Panjab Univ., N. Ser. 43, No. 1-4, 175-257 (1993). These lecture notes introduce to algebraic geometry and to algebraic groups by giving an overview of some prominent topics: classification of curves and surfaces, Weil conjectures, classification of simple algebraic groups and their highest weight modules, standard monomial bases. The author presents a lot of results using a minimum of technical language.
