Abstract
There has been major progress in recent years in the development of improved discretizations of the QCD action, current operators, etc for use in numerical simulations that employ very coarse lattices. These lectures review the field theoretic techniques used to design these discretizations, techniques for testing and tuning the new formalisms that result, and recent simulation results employing these formalisms.
