Gravitational lenses

Abstract
This is a short introduction to some aspects of gravitational lensing in the context of radio astronomy. I discuss the idea, the basic image configurations and astrophysical applications of lensing by galaxies. As an example I present the case of B0218+357. I also briefly discuss lensing by clusters of galaxies. Microlensing, weak lensing and some other aspects are not mentioned.
The lecture is given by Richard Schilizzi and a number of guest lecturers.
