Abstract
Abstract A minimal model is a particularly tractable kind of commutative differential graded algebra (cdga) that can be associated to any nice cdga or to any nice space. The word “minimal” emphasizes that, at least in many cases of interest, the model is calculable. The amazing feature of minimal models of spaces is their ability to algebraically encode all rational homotopy information about a space. This is, of course, why minimal models are important. This chapter includes definitions and the main properties of algebraic notions related to minimal models.
