This book is based on the lectures delivered at the XCIII Session of the École de Physique des Houches, held in August 2009. The aim of the event was to familiarize the new generation of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows with the principles and methods of modern lattice field theory, which aims to resolve fundamental, non-perturbative questions about QCD without uncontrolled approximations. The emphasis is on the theoretical developments that have shaped the field and turned lattice gauge theory into a robust approach to the determination of low-energy hadronic quantities and of fundamental parameters of the Standard Model.
