The purpose of these lectures is to review some aspects of exact duality focusing on theories with \(N=4\) supersymmetry. In these theories the duality group is \(SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\) which includes a \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) corresponding to the interchange of electric and magnetic charges along with the interchange of strong and weak coupling. BPS states are important for testing duality because they form short representations of the supersymmetry algebra and hence we have good control over their behavior as we vary the coupling. At weak coupling the predicted BPS spectrum can be translated into statements about certain geometric structures on the moduli space of BPS monopole solutions. Some open problems are outlined. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00030].
