Abstract
These notes are an introduction to the recent work of Christopher Skinner and Eric Urban (2010) proving (one divisibility of) the Iwasawa main conjecture for \(\mathrm{GL}_{2}/\mathbb{Q}\) (see Theorem 1). We give the necessary background materials and explain the proofs. We focus on the main ideas instead of the details and therefore will sometimes be brief and even imprecise.
