Abstract: The present article contains a short introduction to Modular Theory for von Neumann algebras with a cyclic and separating vector. It includes the formulation of the central result in this area, the Tomita-Takesaki theorem, and several of its consequences. We illustrate this theory through several elementary examples. We also present more elaborate examples and compute modular objects for a discrete crossed product and for the algebra of canonical anticommutation relations (CAR-algebra) in a Fock representation.
