Abstract

In this expository note, we give an introduction to algebraic geometry with the emphasis on Fanomanifolds which forms one of the building blocks of algebraic varieties. After a brief review on the theory of intersection numbers, we introduce numerical invariants on Fano manifolds and discuss related problems.
