Abstract: The goal of this crash course is to introduce the basic notions of moduli space of stable maps and Gromov-Witten invariants. In particular when the stable maps have rational domain and the target is a projective space.

Description: The course is split in 5 main parts. We will cover the following topics, time permitting.
(1) Basic definitions.
(2) The case of genus 0: boundary divisors and examples.
(3) Gromov-Witten invariants.
(4) Quantum cohomology.
(5) Kontsevich-Atiyah-Bott formula.
