As recent developments have shown, supersymmetric quantum field
theory and string theory are intimately related, with advances in
one area often shedding light on the other. The organising ideas of
most of these advances are the notion of duality and the physics of
higher dimensional objects or p-branes. The topics covered in the
present volume include duality in field theory, in particular in
supersymmetric field theory and supergravity, and in string theory.
The Seiberg-Witten theory and its recent developments are also
covered in detail. A large fraction of the volume is devoted to the
current state of the art in M-theory, in particular its underlying
superalgebra as well as its connection with superstring and N = 2
strings. The physics of D-branes and its essential role in the
beautiful computation of the black hole entropy is also carefully
covered. Finally, the last two sets of lectures are devoted to the
exciting matrix approach to non-perturbative string theory.
