Abstract

In this survey, we recall the background and major developments in Courant algebroids and their applications. We mainly recall the origin and motivation of the definition of Courant algebroids. A brief introduction to the theories of Dirac structures, Lie bialgebroids, the Clifford construction, spinor representation, generalized complex geometry and regular Courant algebroids are given.
