Abstract: I will give a pedagogical introduction to toric geometry without requiring previous knowledge in algebraic geometry. The lecture series will be based on the toric geometry package in the open-source Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) mathematics software system. Various examples relevant to string theory are used to illustrate the techniques. Each lecture will contain exercises to be solved in the accompanying computer lab.
