Abstract: We give a selfcontained introduction to the theory of quantum groups according to Drinfeld highlighting the formal aspects as well as the applications to the Yang-Baxter equation and representation theory. Introductions to Hopf algebras, Poisson structures and deformation quantization are also provided. After having defined Poisson-Lie groups we study their relation to Lie-bi algebras and the classical Yang-Baxter equation. Then we explain in detail the concept of quantization for them. As an example the quantization of $s{l}_2$ is explicitly carried out. Next we show how quantum groups are related to the Yang-Baxter equation and how they can be used to solve it. Using the quantum double construction we explicitly construct the universal $R$-matrix for the quantum $s{l}_2$ algebra. In the last section we deduce all finite dimensional irreducible representations for $q$ a root of unity. We also give their tensor product decomposition (fusion rules) which is relevant to conformal field theory.
