Abstract
Constructible sheaves are the algebraic counterpart of the decomposition of singular spaces into manifold pieces, the strata. These sheaves, which can be seen as generalizations of local systems, have powerful applications to the study of topology of singular spaces, especially in the complex algebraic/analytic context. This chapter gives a brief introduction of the theory of constructible sheaves in complex algebraic geometry.
