Abstract
These lectures aim at giving a general survey of what means “Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics”. Not only all technicalities will be systematically avoided, but also many interesting aspects, both conceptual (connections with the theory of phase transitions in statistical mechanics, for example) and practical (numerical analysis, computer science, quantitative results), will be at best outlined. A more substantial account of these subjects can be found in lectures given by E. Brézin, E. Marinari and myself at the Ecole de Gif-sur-Yvette 1986, with the additionnal advantage that two thirds of the notes are written in French.
