Abstract
These pedagogical lectures contain some motivation for the study of qu antum groups; a definition of ''quasitriangular Hopf algebra'' with ex planations of all the concepts required to build it up; descriptions o f quantised universal enveloping algebras and the quantum double; and an account of quantised function algebras and the action of quantum gr oups on quantum spaces.
