摘要
This pedagogical overview of liquid crystals is based on lectures for postgraduate students given at the International Max Planck Research School "Modeling of Soft Matter". I am delighted to dedicate it to my scientific advisor, Prof. Yuriy Reznikov, thus acknowledging his valuable contribution to my life. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
