  These lectures give a brief description of CP violation in B and K meson
decays with particular emphasize put on the determination of the CKM matrix.
The following topics will be discussed: i) The CKM matrix, the unitarity
triangle and general aspects of the theoretical framework, ii)
Particle-antiparticle mixing and various types of CP violation, iii) Standard
analysis of the unitarity triangle, iv) The ratio epsilon^prime/epsilon, v) The
most important strategies for the determination of the angles $\alpha$, $\beta$
and $\gamma$ from B decays, vi) Rare decays $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ and
$K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$ vii) Models with minimal flavour violation.
