Notes of my 14 ‘lectures on everything’ given at the 1995 Les Houches school. An introductory course in topological and conformal field theory, strings, gauge fields, supersymmetry and more. The presentation is more mathematical then usual and takes a modern point of view stressing moduli spaces, duality and the interconnectedness of the subject. An apocryphal lecture on BPS states and D-branes...

Four lectures on computational statistical physics

1 Lectures given at the 2008 Les Houches Summer School " Exact methods in low-dimensional physics and quantum computing ". Preface In my lectures at the Les Houches Summer School 2008, I discussed central concepts of computational statistical physics, which I felt would be accessible to the very cross-cultural audience at the school. I started with a discussion of sampling, which lies at the he...
