This is the first in a series of $\geq 2$ talks about Stable Homotopy Theory. We will motivate the definition of spectra by the Brown Representability Theorem, which allows us to interpret a spectrum as a generalized cohomology theory. Along the way we recall basic notions from homotopy theory, such as suspension, loop spaces and smash products.
