  A. Connes claimed that mathematicians denied groupoids its proper status just because the pejorative suffix -id, but they are the relevant structures behind many notions in mathematics and physics. This book provides an elementary introduction to the theory of groupoids and their representations, encompassing the standard theory of groups with plenty of examples and applications ranging from combinatorics to the topology of graphs.
