Résumé
p. 249 in "Soft and Fragile Matter", Eds. M. E. Cates and M. R.
Evans (Institute of Physics, London, 2000) In these lectures, which were presented at "Soft and Fragile Matter,
Nonequilibrium Dynamics, Metastability and Flow" University of St. Andrews, 8
July - 22 July, 1999, I give an introduction to the physics of supercooled
liquids and glasses and discuss some computer simulations done to investigate
these systems.
