Abstract
We give an introduction to the heavy-quark effective theory and the expansion, which provide the modern framework for a systematic, model-independent description of the properties and decays of hadrons containing a heavy quark. We discuss the applications of these concepts to spectroscopy and to the weak decays of mesons.
