Abstract
This is an expanded version of talks given by the author at the Trieste Spring School on Supergravity and Superstrings in April of 1997 and at the accompanying workshop. The manuscript is intended to be a mini-review of Matrix Theory. The motivations and some of the evidence for the theory are presented, as well as a clear statement of the current puzzles about compactification to low dimensions.
