Abstract
BPS configurations of intersecting branes have many applications in string theory. We attempt to provide an introductory and pedagogical review of supergravity solutions corresponding to orthogonal BPS intersections of branes with an emphasis on eleven and ten space-time dimensions. Recent work on BPS solutions corresponding to non-orthogonally intersecting branes is also discussed. These notes are based on lectures given at the APCTP Winter School "Dualities of Gauge and String Theories", Korea, February 1997.
