An Introduction to (Motivic) Donaldson-Thomas Theory
Confluentes Mathematici, Tome 9 (2017) no. 2, pp. 101-158.

The aim of the paper is to provide a rather gentle introduction into Donaldson-Thomas theory using quivers with potential. The reader should be familiar with some basic knowledge in algebraic or complex geometry. The text contains many examples and exercises to support the process of understanding the main concepts and ideas.
