The Kodaira embedding theorem and background material

The Kodaira embedding theorem is a crucial result in complex geometry that forms a nice bridge between differential and algebraic geometry, giving a necessary and sufficient condition for a compact complex manifold to be a smooth projective variety, that is, a complex submanifold of a complex projective space. The material and proof will follow the exposition in Griffiths & Harris's classic textbook.
