Abstract
These lectures contain an elementary introduction to heavy quark symmetry and the heavy quark expansion. Applications such as the expansion of heavy meson decay constants and the treatment of inclusive and exclusive semileptonic decays are included. Heavy hadron production via nonperturbative fragmentation processes is also discussed.
