59.1 Introduction
This chapter is the first in a series of chapter on the étale cohomology of schemes. In this chapter we discuss the very basics of the étale topology and cohomology of abelian sheaves in this topology. Many of the topics discussed may be safely skipped on a first reading; please see the advice in the next section as to how to decide what to skip.
The initial version of this chapter was formed by the notes of the first part of a course on étale cohomology taught by Johan de Jong at Columbia University in the Fall of 2009. The original note takers were Thibaut Pugin, Zachary Maddock and Min Lee. The second part of the course can be found in the chapter on the trace formula, see The Trace Formula, Section 64.1.
