Abstract
The purpose of the following informal lectures is to give a brief introduction to descriptive dynamics, which I understand here to be the descriptive theory of Polish group actions. I will concentrate on the foundations, and hopefully at a level accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of descriptive set theory. I will illustrate some of the main methods used in this area, including Baire category arguments and various implementations of the "changing the topology" technique. A general reference for the results discussed in this paper is Becker-Kechris [1996].

This paper is based on the text of a series of lectures that I was scheduled to give at the International Workshop on Descriptive Set Theory and Dynamical Systems, CIRM, Luminy, July 1-5, 1996. Unfortunately, at the last moment, a family emergency prevented me from attending the meeting, but A. Louveau has kindly stepped in and delivered these lectures. (Except for Lecture IV for which there was not sufficient time.) I would like to thank him for taking over this, despite his heavy load of duties during this meeting.
