The goal of the course is to bring students to the frontier of research in free probability and its relation to random matrices in ten lectures. The lectures will present the basic facts of free probability and show how free probability can simplify and conceptualize the study of random matrices through a careful exploration of basic but instructive examples.

The course will consist of ten lectures and five exercise sets for those taking the course for credit.
