Abstract
The following notes, meant as a pedagogical introduction to the subject of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD), are based on the lectures by Ashoke Sen in the XVI SERC Main School on Theoretical High Energy Physics at the HRI, Allahabad. The notes were taken by Anindya Dutta, Debashis Ghoshal, Dileep Jatkar, Swapan Majhi, Partha Konar, Subhendu Rakshit and V. Ravindran; and compiled in their final form by Debashis Ghoshal and V. Ravindran.
