Some Introductions
1- Introduction to Monte Carlo Methods
by Stefan Weinzierl
Publisher: arXiv 2000
Number of pages: 47
Description:
These lectures given to graduate students in high energy physics, provide an introduction to Monte Carlo methods. After an overview of classical numerical quadrature rules, Monte Carlo integration together with variance-reducing techniques is introduced. A short description on the generation of pseudo-random numbers and quasi-random numbers is given.

2- Introduction to Symplectic Field Theory
by Y. Eliashberg, A. Givental, H. Hofer
Publisher: arXiv 2000
Number of pages: 102
Description:
We sketch in this article a new theory, which we call Symplectic Field Theory or SFT, which provides an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of topological field theory, and at the same time serves as a rich source of new invariants of contact manifolds and their Legendrian submanifolds.

3- Introduction to Supersymmetry: Astrophysical and Phenomenological Constraints by Keith A. Olive
Publisher: arXiv 1999

4- Introduction to Supersymmetry
by Adel Bilal
Publisher: arXiv 2001
Number of pages: 83
Description:
These are expanded notes of lectures given at the summer school "Gif 2000" in Paris. The present introduction is elementary and pragmatic. The author discusses: spinors and the Poincar'e group, the susy algebra and susy multiplets, superfields and susy lagrangians, susy gauge theories, spontaneously broken susy, the non-linear sigma model, N=2 susy gauge theories, and finally Seiberg-Witten duality.

5- Introduction to M Theory
by Miao Li
Publisher: arXiv 1998
Number of pages: 76
Description:
This short book is an introduction to some recent developments in string theory and M theory. The author tries to concentrate on the main physical aspects, and often leaves more technical details to the original literature.

6- An Introduction to Conformal Field Theory
by Matthias R Gaberdiel
Publisher: arXiv 1999
Number of pages: 69
Description:
A comprehensive introduction to two-dimensional conformal field theory is given. Conformal field theories have been at the center of much attention during the last fifteen years since they are relevant for at least three different areas of modern theoretical physics: conformal field theories provide toy models for genuinely interacting quantum field theories, they describe two-dimensional critical phenomena, and they play a central role in string theory, at present the most promising candidate for a unifying theory of all forces.
