Abstract
These lectures, given at the 1992 Trieste Spring School, are devoted to some selected topics in N=2 \sm s on Calabi-Yau manifolds and the associated N=2 superconformal field theories. The first lecture is devoted to the ``special geometry" of the moduli space of N=2 superconformal field theories. An important role is played by the extended chiral algebra which appears in theories with integer charges. The second lecture is devoted to the \sm\ approach. The main focus is an explication of a calculation of Aspinwall and Morrison.
