Abstract

This mini-course presents an approach to quantum groups based on the quantization of Poisson-Lie groups. In this connection the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation and the algebraic definition of quantum groups appear quite naturally. We discuss quantum groups corresponding to simple Lie groups of classical type, their quantum vector spaces and quantum universal enveloping algebras. In particular the latter are introduced as dual objects to quantum groups with the duality given by a quantum R-matrix.
