We will introduce and study the stable homotopy category via orthogonal spectra. Classical applications to geometric topology and computations will be outlined. Towards the end of the lecture we will investigate equivariant stable homotopy theory. 

Knowledge of basic concepts from (unstable) homotopy theory will be assumed.
