Abstract: We present an introduction to periodic and stochastic homogenization of ellip- tic partial differential equations. The first part is concerned with the qualitative theory, which we present for equations with periodic and random coefficients in a unified approach based on Tartar's method of oscillating test functions. In partic- ular, we present a self-contained and elementary argument for the construction of the sublinear corrector of stochastic homogenization. (The argument also applies to elliptic systems and in particular to linear elasticity). In the second part we briefly discuss the representation of the homogenization error by means of a two- scale expansion. In the last part we discuss some results of quantitative stochastic homogenization in a discrete setting. In particular, we discuss the quantification of ergodicity via concentration inequalities, and we illustrate that the latter in combi- nation with elliptic regularity theory leads to a quantification of the growth of the sublinear corrector and the homogenization error.
