Tilting theory is a major tool in the representation theory of algebras. The basic idea of this concept is that if \(A\) is a finite-dimensional algebra and \(T\) an \(A\)-module with special homological properties, then the categories of modules over \(A\) and \(B=\text{End}(T)\) are closely related in the sense that some nice subcategories are equivalent [see \textit{S. Brenner} and \textit{M. Butler}, Representation theory II, Proc. 2nd int. Conf., Ottawa 1979, Lect. Notes Math. 832, 103-169 (1980; Zbl 0446.16031) and \textit{D. Happel} and \textit{C. M. Ringel}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 274, 399-443 (1982; Zbl 0503.16024)]. The author gives an introduction to the theory of tilted algebras. It contains first the standard notions of modern representation theory such as algebras as quotients of path algebras and Auslander-Reiten theory. Further, the definition of a tilting module is given and the relations between tilting modules and torsion theories are discussed. Finally, homological properties of tilted algebras are described. This part of the paper follows closely a joint work of the author with \textit{I. Assem} [Glasg. Math. J. 36, No. 3, 347-354 (1994; Zbl 0820.16017)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0840.00019].
