We have prepared a short introduction to the usage of MadGraph in simple problems of calculationg cross sections. We chose the simple example of $e^- e^+ \rightarrow \mu^- \mu^+$ that we have discussed before. After getting acquainted with this usage you should go to the web page and look at the tutorials.
