Abstract
A set of four introductory lectures on Resurgent Asymptotics for Physics (``resurgence") at the CERN Summer School: Continuum Foundations of Lattice Gauge Theories, July 2024. Lecture 1: The Airy function and the Stokes phenomenon. Lecture 2: The nonlinear Stokes phenomenon. Lecture 3: Resurgence in QFT: the Heisenberg-Euler effective action. Lecture 4: Resurgent continuation and summation. The emphasis of these lectures is on physically motivated examples. The lectures include many exercises designed to illustrate some of the key ideas of resurgence.
