Abstract:In this lectures we give a review of some basic, features of the gauge/gravity correspondence. We concentrate on the developements in the 1/2 BPS sector were progress was accomplished through reduction to simple, solvable matrix models. We give a detailed discussion of the reduction both in supergravity and in Yang-Mills theory. We then discuss the physical picture and the relationship with the noncritical string.
