I am looking for notes, books etc. for learning projective geometry for getting started with elliptic curves.

    Why do you think you need to know projective geometry to get started with elliptic curves?

    The OP would do well learning a bit of projective geometry before getting started with elliptic curves.

    @user101 in my book on "Elliptic curves, modular forms, and L-functions", there is an appendix on projective geometry. It is not much, but it covers the very basics you need for elliptic curves. However, a source like Fischer (below) would contain a lot more background material to be comfortable working in projective coordinates.

Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...
