We will give a quick and dirty introduction to Gromov-Witten theory and discuss some integrality properties of GW invariants. We will start by briefly recalling some basic properties of the Deligne Mumford moduli space of curves. We will then try to define GW invariants using both algebraic and symplectic geometry (both definitions will be rather sloppy, but hopefully the basic idea will become visible), talk a bit about the axiomatic definition due to to Kontsevich and Manin, and discuss some applications like quantum cohomology. Finally, we will talk a bit about integrality and the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture. Just as a word of warning: this talk is intended as an introduction to the
subject and should give an overview, so we will perhaps be a bit sloppy here and there...
