Abstract
In this note we give a short introduction to the theory of harmonic Maass forms. We start by introducing modular forms and Maass forms and then present the notion of (vector valued) harmonic Maass forms as developed by Bruinier and Funke in [4]. We end by giving two recent applications of this theory.
