Abstract: The seminar will start with the definition of what is mean
curvature flow of a closed hypersurface, illustrated with some basic
examples. Next, I will recall the variational nature of the flow and 
some of the main well-known results, such as Grayson theorem for the 
evolution of plane curves, and Huisken convexity preserving theorem. At 
the end of the seminar, some more advanced topics will be mentioned.
