Abstract
In this paper we look at Grothendieck's work on classifying holomorphic bundles over the complex projective line. The paper is divided into parts. The first and second part we build up the necessary background to talk about vector bundles, sheaves, cohomology, etc. The main result of the chapter is the classification of holomorphic vector bundles over the complex projective line. In the chapter we introduce principal -bundles and some of the theory behind them and finish off by proving Grothendieck's theorem in full generality. The goal is a (mostly) self-contained proof of Grothendieck's result accessible to someone who has taken differential geometry.
