  The purpose of these lectures is to describe the basic theoretical structures
underlying the rich and beautiful physics of the quantum Hall effect. The focus
is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective
Chern-Simons theories, and the modes which live on the boundary. The notes are
aimed at graduate students in any discipline where $\hbar=1$. A working
knowledge of quantum field theory is assumed. Contents:
  1. The Basics (Landau levels and Berry phase).
  2. The Integer Quantum Hall Effect.
  3. The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect.
  4. Non-Abelian Quantum Hall States.
  5. Chern-Simons Theories.
  6. Edge Modes.
