Spin of a particle is an integral notion in Quantum theory. Understanding this idea has directly influenced the development and enrichment of many topics in pure mathematics for the last century, including Algebra, Lie theory, Representation theory, Operator theory, Differential geometry, to name a few. In this talk I shall give an overview of the mathematical aspects of Spin, and discuss various pure mathematical ideas associated to it.
