This chapter discusses mixed Hodge structures (MHS). It first defines the abstract category of Hodge structures and introduces spectral sequences. The decomposition on the cohomology of Kähler manifolds is used to prove the degeneration at rank 1 of the spectral sequence defined by the filtration F on the de Rham complex in the projective nonsingular case. The chapter then introduces an abstract definition of MHS as an object of interest in linear algebra. It then attempts to develop algebraic homology techniques on filtered complexes up to filtered quasi-isomorphisms of complexes. Finally, this chapter provides the construction of the MHS on any algebraic variety.
