Scientific paper

We introduce the theoretical framework we use to study the bewildering
variety of phases in condensed--matter physics. We emphasize the importance of
the breaking of symmetries, and develop the idea of an order parameter through
several examples. We discuss elementary excitations and the topological theory
of defects.
