Abstract
The basics of compact Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves are covered in this chapter. The results in this chapter, although mostly well-known, are essential for the further development of our theory; moreover, certain results from curve theory serve as paradigms for the theory of finite total curvature complete minimal surfaces.
