Title: Introduction to Hodge Theory

Abstract: These are part of an ongoing series of lectures on the basics of Hodge theory. The next two lectures will finish the proof of the de Rham theorem, via sheaf cohomology, and if time permits, a beginning will be made on some linear algebra needed for the Hodge theory, as in Chapter 1 of Huybrechts' book.
