Construction of Heegard Floer homology in the case when first Betti number is 0 is explained. The tools required in the construction are pseudo holomorphic disks, symmetric product space, Chern class, Maslov index, and spinc-structures. These tools are studied.30cm.Homology theory.Homotopy theory.First steps into heegard floer homologyvii, 38 leaves;
