Abstract

The lattice gauge theory technique for non-perturbative calculations in QCD is reviewed. The extraction of the continuum limit of lattice results is discussed with particular examples appropriate to hadron spectroscopy (the light hadrons and the glueballs). The determination of the strong coupling constant is presented. The lattice approach to the evaluation of hadronic matrix elements appropriate to weak decays is described.
