Abstract
These are the lecture notes for a course at the "Roberto Salmeron School in Mathematical Physics" held at the University of Brasilia in September 2025, to be published in the proceedings book "Modern topics in mathematical physics." The course provides a concise and biased introduction to black hole thermodynamics. It covers the laws of black hole mechanics, Hawking radiation, Euclidean quantum gravity methods, and AdS black holes.
