>These notes expand on a set of lectures at the Courant Institute in
>1996-1997 on Riemann-Hilbert problems, orthogonal polynomials, and
>random matrix theory. The main goal of the course was to prove
>universality for a variety of statistical quantities arising in the
>theory of random matrix models. The main ingredient in the proof is the
>steepest descent method for oscillatory Riemann-Hilbert problems
>introduced earlier by the author and Xin Zhou.
