      \(N=2\) heterotic strings may provide a window into the physics of M-theory radically different from that found via the other supersymmetric string theories. In addition to their supersymmetric structure, these strings carry a four-dimensional self-dual structure, and appear to be completely integrable systems with a stringy density of states. These lectures give an overview of \(N=2\) heterotic strings, as well as a brief discussion of possible applications of both ordinary and heterotic \(N=2\) strings to D-branes and matrix theory. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0923.00027].
