DESCRIPTION:Recent observations using brand-new facilities such as James W
 ebb Space Telescope discovered infant galaxies that were in place when the
  age of the universe was just a few hundred million years. Even "mature" g
 alaxies were found at the early epochs\, suggesting possibly unknown proce
 sses\nthat drive star and galaxy formation. I review recent progress in th
 e theoretical study on the first generation of stars. I present the result
 s from state-of-the-art computer simulations of early structure formation\
 , and identify several key issues and open questions. The simulations star
 t from realistic cosmological initial conditions that incorporate super-so
 nic gas motions left over from the recombination epoch. Tiny magnetic fiel
 ds generated by the gas motions are also incorporated.\nI discuss formatio
 n of massive stars\, black holes\, and gravitational wave sources. Finally
 \, I discuss prospects for future observations using next generation teles
 copes.
