These notes record and slightly modify my 5 lectures from the CIME conference on “Calculus of variations and nonlinear partial differential equations”, held in Cetraro during the week of June 27 - July 2, 2005, organized by Bernard Dacorogna and Paolo Marcellini. I am proud to brag that this was the third CIME course I have given during the past ten years, the others at the meetings on “Viscosity solutions and applications” (Montecatini Terme, 1995) and on “Optimal transportation and applications” (Martina Franca, 2001).
