These lectures illustrate some of the concepts of soft-condensed matter physics,taking examples from colloid physics.Many of the theoretical concepts will be illustrated with the results of computer simulations.After a brief introduction describing interactions between colloids, the paper focuses on colloidal phase behavior (in particular,entropic phase transitions),colloidal hydrodynamics and colloidal nucleation.
