Abstract
The goal of this lecture is to explain toric manifolds as a special class of projective varieties. The first five sections contain a crash course on notions and basic facts about algebraic varieties, mostly in order to fix notation. The combinatorial flavor of toric varieties is postponed until Lecture 5
