This lecture introduces the concept of stellar evolution, covering topics such as the Hayashi Sequence, fragmentation, Jeans criteria, fusion of hydrogen into helium, and the evolution of massive and low-mass stars. It also discusses the age of stellar clusters and the fusion processes in stars, emphasizing the importance of gas pressures and the evolution of stars based on their mass.
