Defining Grassmannians by Plücker relations

I will introduce Grassmannians using detailed description of Plücker embedding. I will also tell about properties of Grassmannians regarded as complex algebraic varieties. Though Plücker embedding is studied in the first year linear algebra course, I hope my talk will help to understand it better. No preliminary knowledge is required.
