Topological quantum field theories are one of the few cases of QFT that can be treated mathematically. The goal of this talk will be to recall a mathematician's definition of TFT, and demonstrate how it recovers features of QFT that are familiar to physicists. I will then introduce the notion of extended TFT, and explain how dualizability properties can be used to classify TFTs.
