Abstract
The major part of my lectures was devoted to a survey of statistical QCD, describing the transition from hadronic matter to the quark- gluon plasma. Following a discussion of the physical basis for de- confinement and chiral symmetry restoration, the lattice formulation of statistical QCD was introduced; this can then be evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation on large computers. Subsequently, the present status of strong interaction thermodynamics at finite temperature and finite baryon number density was reviewed. Finally, we considered briefly the possibility to study strongly interacting matter experimentally in nuclear collisions. The material presented in this part of my lectures is contained in a survey article which has just appeared in the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science (Vol. 35, 245 (1985)).
