Abstract：          

          In the series of lectures we shall introduce the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism in quantum field theories. Classical BV formalism can be viewed as a higher (ie, derived, stacky) geometrical approach to encode moduli problems. Following the same line, quantum BV formalism should be viewed as a quantum moduli problem. We shall make precise the above statements and give several examples. If time permits,we shall also discuss some possible generalizations of the current framework.
