A self contained review of the principles of matrix theory is presented. The basics of light cone quantization, the formulation of 11-dimensional M-theory in terms of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the origin of membranes and the rules of compactification on 1,2 and 3 tori are included. It is emphasized that the unusual origins of space time and gravitation are very different than in conventional approaches to quantum gravity. Finally application of matrix theory to the quantum mechanics of Schwarzschild black holes is discussed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0923.00027].
