Annotation -
Purpose of this lecture is to give a general introduction to high-energy heavy ion physics. It covers rather wide range of subjects from relativistic kinetic theory through collective macroscopic features of dense and high temperature matter to properties of nuclear equation of state. Collective fluid dynamical approaches are introduced in a great detail and some simple analytically solvable models are presented. Heavy ion collisions from intermediate to ultra-relativistic energies are covered.
