These lectures do not at all provide a general review of this rapidly growing field. Instead a rather detailed account is presented of a number of the most elementary aspects.

The leading soft gluon pT distribution in heavy ion collisions was obtained by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations. I show explicitly this result can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. I also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations.

We discuss the ways of constructing the exact superpotential for N=1 supersymmetric theories and propose a new approach. As a consequence , a new structure of the superpotential is found.
