Cluster algebras arise in various algebraic and geometric contexts, with
combinatorics providing a unifying framework. My presentation of the basic
definitions and results of this emerging theory will be guided by two sets
of examples: coordinate rings of classical algebraic varieties, and
cluster algebras associated with bordered oriented surfaces with marked
points.

Due to unforseen technical difficulties, this lecture was not recorded.
