This text provides a broad-ranging introduction to the m o d e m theory of Distributed Computing. It provides background s,lmcient to introduce advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students to the kind of research that typically appears in symposinm~ such as the ACM Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) or the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing (DISC). The first section, entitled "Fundamentals", introduces a nllmber of classical problemA fTom distributed computing, f~miliarizing the student
