Abstract
These are the notes of a course given at the CIMPA School “Homological Methods, Representation Theory and Cluster Algebras,” Mar del Plata, Argentina, 2016. The aim of this brief course is to give an introduction to the functorial approach to the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras, developed by Maurice Auslander and Idun Reiten, and is strongly based on the work “A functorial approach to representation theory,” by M. Auslander (Representations of Algebras. Springer, Berlin, 1981) [4].
