               Supersymmetric Homotopy Algebra

Abstract: I'll give an introduction to (what physicists call)
supersymmetric algebra, by describing the motivating examples, namely,
the algebraic structures underlying riemannian, symplectic and kahler
manifolds. I'll also describe how much of this structure can be
realized in topology as well, though only up to (infinite) homotopy.
