These lecture notes give a brief introduction to heavy fermion physics, emphasizing aspects of particular modern interest. Following an introduction to the Kondo effect and the phenomenology of heavy fermions, the article introduces Kondo insulators, the simplest heavy fermions; the large N expansion for the Kondo lattice; heavy fermion superconductivity including the symplectic N approach; topological Kondo insulators and finally a discussion of the challenge of understanding the co-existence of magnetism and the Kondo effect.
