Description
An overview of supersymmetry and its different applications is presented. We motivate supersymmetry in particle physics. We then explain how supersymmetry helps us analyze field theories exactly, and what dynamical lessons these solutions teach us. Finally, we describe how supersymmetry is used to derive exact results in string theory. These results have led to a revolution in our understanding of the theory. (author)
