Abstract
We use solvable two-dimensional gauge theories to illustrate the issues in relating large N gauge theory to string theory. We also give an introduction to recent mathematical work which allows constructing master fields for higher dimensional large N theories. We illustrate this with a new derivation of the Hopf equation governing the evolution of the spectral density in matrix quantum mechanics. Based on lectures given at the 1994 Trieste Spring School on String Theory, Gauge Theory and Quantum Gravity.
