Resumen:
In these notes we present a brief introduction to string theory. As a motivation we start by exposingsome of the many striking achievements of the Standard model of fundamental interactions but alsosome of its limitations. We introduce string theory through a discussion of perturbative closed bosonicstring. Since no knowledge of supersymmetry is assumed the di erent, consistent, superstrings arejust qualitatively motivated. D-branes and open string are then discussed and some rough idea aboutdualities and non perturbative e ects is advanced. We end by illustrating the idea of brane worlds aspossible framework to embed the Standard model in a string theory context.
