This written talk provides an elementary introduction to recently discovered nongeometric and non-topological symmetries in superstring theory. Using elementary examples from Kaluza-Klein theory the author explains the notions of duality symmetries in the case of compactification of the 10-dimensional theory on a torus or Calabi-Yau manifolds. Finally he shows the basic idea of the strong-weak coupling duality (S-duality) symmetry. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0864.00048].
