Title: What is a moduli space?


Abstract: Given a certain set of mathematical objects, a guiding 
question is often the classification problem. In algebraic geometry, the 
objects that you would like to classify have usually some geometry 
interests, like for instance manifolds, vector bundles, algebraic 
curves. The attempt to reach a meaningful classification often leads to 
the construction of a moduli space: a parameter space whose points 
correspond to all the objects you would like to study. In the talk, I 
will give a very gentle introduction to the notion of parameter space 
focusing on elementary examples. If time permits, at the end I will give 
some hints towards more complicated but also more interesting examples.
