Abstract: These notes are a self-contained introduction to the use of dynamical and probabilistic methods in the study of hyperbolic groups. Most of this material is standard; however some of the proofs given are new, and some results are proved in greater generality than have appeared in the literature. These notes originated in a minicourse given at a workshop in Melbourne, July 11-15 2011.
