dc.descriptionWe give a brief introduction to the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition, a theory which was proposed a while ago to describe the dynamics of supercooled liquids. After presenting the basic equations of the theory, we review some of its predictions and compare these with results of experiments and computer simulations. We conclude that the theory is able to describe the dynamics of supercooled liquids in remarkably great detail.
